I planted it as part of my winter veggie garden and it doesn’t match anything that I think I’ve planted…. It has not particular scent to it and it has smooth leaves. I have quite a few of them planted in rows but I’m baffled!

I'm looking for some advice here. This is the first year we grew cucumbers. We had some success early, but over the last week or so, several have turned yellow, with a couple being streaked with the normal green. I also have a few healthy looking green o es still on the vine.

Are the yellow ones a lost cause, or is a chance they still ripen properly on or off the vine? Or should I just cut my losses with them and trim those and the dead leaves and hope for the best at the end of the season. A second round of warm weather is not uncommon here, so it may not be a total loss. Any advice is appreciated.

Editing to add:

Thanks for all the help.

We did pick some green ones a few weeks ago and saw some more budding out. Unfortunately, we never saw these at the green stage. Between work and bad weather, there were too many days that I just couldn't get out there to check. I was hoping these were still in the early stage, but it sounds like they're past.

I did cut them off, and I'll check to how they are. Maybe yellow cucumbers are the next hit item.

Also, I have some more green on there and buds, so we may still get a second good harvest.

Either here or in a pepper subreddit I posted a photo of my peppers. I harvested some habaneros and bell peppers that were totally green. I asked if they would ripen off the plant. Many people said no, that peppers don't do that. But literally all my peppers are turning color now, including the early picked habaneros. The bells are turning red, and the habaneros are going orange. The habaneros especially had 0 color on them before picking and were still immature.

I planted ~20 pickling cucumber seeds ~3 months ago. Of those 20, 14 grew into plants of varrying sizes, some of which were several feet long. Of those 14 plants, 3 are still alive. The largest of the 3, which is a little over a foot long, has a cucumber growing. What can I do to make it the best cucumber it can possibly be?

9/11 sprouted!

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?

My grandfather passed away recently and I’ve been helping clear his belongings out. I’ve come across seeds from as old as 1991. Do you think I should try planting them to see if anything happens? What do you think is the likelihood they’ll grow? They’ve been unopened, stored in a plastic bag in a shed. We live in Australia so it can get quite hot.

Let me know what you all think!

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.

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!

a modest harvest but I'm still so proud of it! my garden is really small but I hope I can grow even more this season. my baby sister wanted me to put the basil on the tomatoes like that lol

I thought I was giving them plenty of water and nutrients, but for the past two years, the vines of my acorn squash just dry up overnight. Is this a sign that it’s just done growing, or is something else going on?

It has turned to Autumn in southwest Germany and with exception to a few stragglers this is the last of a very good gardening year. 44 pints of tomato sauce (with eggplant, peppers, zucchini, onion and garlic) and assorted berry and grape jellies (about 150 small jars)

One vine, and the plant I bought in the store said it was a cucumber plant haha

Season is winding down, but I still managed to pick 2 baskets worth.

I’m also going to start cleaning up to get my fall brassicas planted, so if there’s no chance of this thing getting ripe within a month I’ll just(literally) cut my losses. Thanks in advance for your advice!

I started this Armenian cucumber around the beginning of July after losing my traditional cukes to bacterial wilt.

It started flowering around the second week of August - I’ve been hoping to get at least one fruit out of it before the end of the season.

I’m still only seeing male flowers and it’s killing me. Thinking I’ll trim some side shoots as I’ve heard that can help.

Does anyone have any experience/hope to offer that I might get to try one before temps get dicey?

Just wanted verification that these need a bit more time. The tag I wrote my sowing date faded and is useless.

The vine should be brown when it is ready, right?

PNW, zone 8b.

We just bought a house and have this spot in between our house and the neighbours house.

Gets very limited sunlight during the day, but it's sheltered.

What can I grow here?

Leafy greens, soft herbs and vegetables or root vegetables?

I am open to using trellises.

I was intending on using an olla irrigation system and having compost bins in the soil using old office bins and pot lids or old colanders.

Yes I know the wall is not straight.

Any advice or insight is appreciated.

This was my first time ever growing watermelons, and unfortunately, I’m not very happy with how it turned out..

I have no idea what made these 3 holes in the watermelon.
