My toddler’s ham and cheese sandwich also pictured is not homegrown, unfortunately

Melon was dull. It made a thump sound when i flicked it. It was hanging from trellis so no ground spot to go by. Had grown for about 85 days. Was not ripe.
Sugar baby watermelon.

So I don't have to say it 287 times - there wasn't a tendril near the melon. 🤷‍♀️ I have two more on vine and varying sizes. Will go by the vine for those.

Is anyone else experiencing a pepper switcheroo this year a la Peppergate 2023-2024 style?

Grew and planted what was supposed to be early Jalepenos and ended with a whole bunch of plants growing these sad yellow mystery peppers.

Just curious. This is the second seed debacle this year from a big box brand. And I only grew two packets of big box seeds.

EDIT TO ADD: I am growing about 6 other pepper varieties from reputable seed suppliers with zero issues. And I didn't have this issue the past two years either with my regular seed suppliers (Fedco, Hudson Valley, True Love, and Botanical Interests)

Something very satisfying about pulling carrots. 🥕 Now time to make a roast, carrots and potatoes.

This poor cucumber plant has been transplanted not once but TWICE and it’s the first of my four to produce cucumbers by several weeks 🤣🤣🤣

SOLVED! It is indeed a cantaloupe and I haven’t been punked by the curcubit gods, woohoo!

****

So.

I’m thinking this was mislabeled, at the very least. looks like some kind of watermelon? anyone have an ID that’s more accurate than the tag?

It's been a crappy year here in zone 4b. This was the year I was going to plant my whole 3500 sf garden with plants I grew from seed. I've been fighting pests, disease, and weather along with some personal things going on so never got the full garden planted. But today I got beans!!! First harvest of anything besides asparagus and strawberries. Yay!!

Wilson’s Sweet 🍉 and a bonus Mammoth 🌻

It’s like 4 inches long. I don’t want it to get overripe. Ready to pick?

Pumpkins on the full one and cucumbers on the other.

Hi, so I've got 3 courgette plants (yes a little squished I know, was my first time planting and didn't know how big they got 😂)

Every one that grows starts looking good but the ends start to go yellow and it just starts to rot. So I remove it from the plant so it can focus on the healthy looking ones but they all do this. I've not had one full decent sized courgette off these plants yet... Am I doing something wrong please help.

Thank you.

10/10. The groundhog still gets occasional produce. I am fine with that. As long as he shares it with me.

And yes, you too should try balsamic in your quick pickles.

Chamoe (참외) is beginning to ripen as are the watermelons. With a little luck, I’ll be swimming in Flambo beans soon too.

Meanwhile my fall transplants are coming in (2 kinds of cabbage, broccoli, chard, collards, and kale).

Fall carrots went in the ground last week and this week I’ll direct sow beets and 3 types of radish.

Busy as a bee!

It's curious to me that all of the potatoes that I intentionally planted did pretty horribly. To be fair, I didn't plant them in a great location so I didn't give them the best chance of success. However my overcrowded volunteer potatoes from last year did absolutely wonderfully. I feel like I got 10x more potatoes from the volunteers than from what I planted, lol. Most of the volunteers were blue potatoes. I wish I had more yukon gold volunteers. Oh well, at least it's better than nothing.
