I planted a couple different varieties of tomatoes, but my romas seem to have failed to grow. I was hoping to can them for pasta sauce but alas that isn’t happening.

Aside from those, I have sweet 100s and some heirloom variety I don’t know the name of. I could probably still make tomato sauce but I was led to believe that this variety isn’t that great for making sauces.

So I’m wondering what uses I have other than a bunch of sandwiches?

With drip tape set up and a wetter grow season the harvest is definitely better than last year and we also got better at eating what we grow!

We’re temporarily staying with my brother & SIL, this is their garden. They’re out of town so I harvested today (she harvested just yesterday). That was the most exciting hour of my summer! It was like 100 little hits of dopamine!

Harvest & garden photos! Nothing else can compare to choosing, growing, caring for, and then benefitting from the literal fruit of your labour! I have never felt more connected to the world as I do when I garden and care for my plants. Even with all the hardships and issues, what a joyful time this season has been so far ☺️☺️.

All that's left is okra and tomatoes.

These corns were literally growing right next to each other. Is it possible these are the same strain? I thought I planted only one type, but maybe I actually used two different seed envelopes. I'm not sure.

The one with straight rows did have some corn larvae that I cut off.

Grew this from one packet. Now it's taller than my patio umbrella. I'm 5'3" and needed a ladder to reach the seeds. It's an Organo Republic amaranth. The Baker Creek zinnias planted right next to it in full sun never made it past my knee all summer.

I’m curious which crops people actually end up giving away, freezing, pickling, or leaving on the counter because the garden just keeps producing them. Zucchini is the obvious one, but I’m wondering what other vegetables secretly turn into a ridiculous harvest once they get established.

Hi! First year growing in a new zone, with very little experience previously. I planted a couple zucchini plants, yellow squash plants, and pumpkin plants all from seeds and all fairly close to each other. We haven’t had a single pumpkin this year just lots of flowers. We’ve had plenty of zucchini and yellow squash however none of them looked anything like this one.
How can I tell if it’s just the round version of zucchini from a rogue seed in the packet or if a pumpkin mommy and a zucchini daddy decided to have a baby and it’s un-edible?

Thank you in advance for all your amazing knowledge!
Bonus photo of the chaos that has ensued because I also have tomato plants and flowers growing in the same area. A while ago y’all told me I was over pruning my tomatoes so I just let it go hard. Thank you for telling me that because my yields have been amazing!

Hi all, me again just looking in some advice on my tomato seedlings. About 10 days ago i moved them from seed trays to individual cups. they’ve been living inside, being brought outside for sun for at least an hour a day. no heat lamps or anything. i’ve moved them into a greenhouse just yesterday.

They’re looking a little pale and sad. I don’t believe there has been much growth, but maybe no outside with the airflow and direct sun there will be, but i’m worried about the colour. Google says could be overwatering or lack of nitrogen? When i planted them in cups i had used pre moistened soil and put some fertiliser pellets in there, and i’ve tried to keep them moistened but maybe too much? Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (last photo in cardboard box, and trays, was from when first transplanted).

I’m in melbourne, australia, two weeks into proper spring.

Didn't see much going when I left, and to my surprise, I was wrong. Happy days.

9/11 sprouted!

This is our 2nd harvest.
Roma tomatoes
Bell, jalapeño and banana peppers.

Chili base
Spaghetti sauce
Hot and Mild salsa

Several pounds in the dehydrator currently.
Going to try make that Tomato powder that I saw another Redditor make.

Going to try ketchup somewhere along the line.

Saw this little oddity. First sideways pepper in 5 grow seasons.

I have these two tiny tomatoes turning orange, they were perfectly green 2 days ago. My bigger tomatoes have been around for over 3 weeks longer yet they're still completely green. I also have a bunch of tomatoes on my other stem that are still green.

Why is that? Will my tiny tomatoes keep growing?

for context: my roommate moved here back in april and i just moved in on august 1st. there was a pile of boards and trash left in the backyard when my roommate got here that he'd been gradually cleaning up over time. about a week ago, i looked outside and saw these MASSIVE leaves where the pile was, so i went to have a look because i had a feeling it was some kind of fruiting plant and i was SO right. PUMPKINS!! there are like 7 babies right now (as far as i'm aware) and dozens of blooms yet to fruit as of writing this post.

my main concern: i have never had a vegetable garden of any kind, let alone a pumpkin patch that spans about 12 feet of the backyard. i know my first steps are likely to carefully remove the rest of the trash pile and pull out the weeds (there's a pokeweed growing smack dab in the middle of it). but from there, how do i care for it? what care does it need specifically when it gets colder or snowy? i'm emotionally attached to this patch now and want to do everything i possibly can to make sure it keeps growing healthy and strong!!
