2025 Garden!

[Keep on]

1st zuchini of the year made some great fritters.

This zucchini plant went from looking great, like the one to the right to this in a 24 your period. Any ideas on what happened?

Until proven wrong, first and only guess is squash bugs.

Probably vine borers

Squash going strong, raspberries and beans are starting to produce.

Green beans have been a struggle this year. I've replanted some sections 3 times. A buddy of mine who always has a nice big garden struggled to get his going. Too cold and wet we think. Finally got some this evening.

Harvest Day. First broccoli pick. Strawberries are near the end. Wife has enough for another batch of jam. Last of the pie cherries. We’ll have a cherry pie for the fourth. Peas are starting. English and snap. English will explode in a few days. Artichoke hearts we canned a few days ago.

What are you using the trellises for on the far left pic? Plants? Wind tunnel?

I use them as cucumber trellises. Keeps them off the ground and easy to pick. You can plant fairly thickly for a heavier harvest and they usually just dangle under the trellises for easy picking.

Full on summer here. Tomatoes a-plenty, okra and beans looking good. Late planting of squash looking good too. Hopefully it produces better than the early planting has so far.

I am jealous of you all. Due to rain and tiller issues, I didn’t get my garden in until the first week of June. My wife did get to eat her first cucumber today, but everything else is going to be a while.

 

[IDFireLass]

Me too. Quit showing off. LOL I've got zucchini coming on big time. Green tomatoes waiting and waiting for the first one.
Cucumbers are starting to run and some blooming.
Having problems with aphids in my peppers.
So all I do is water and weed and wait.

Just remember the price we pay for having long growing seasons is no elk, mule deer, antelope, goats, sheep, etc...

Nice pineapple!

So jealous!

I am not lying when I say it was delicious!
Way better than store bought.

One of my beehives is working hard this year when they aren’t chasing me. I had put a fourth box on the hive a while ago and they hadn’t touched it. Check two weeks ago had bees in it but no work. I checked last week, and all the frames had been built and were full of a light honey. Frames weren’t capped so I left the box alone.

I had a very strong intuition that it might be clover honey. My yard has a white frost on it right now with thousands of bees working the clover.

I checked the bees today and the frames were full and capped on the big hive. I decided to take the box.

It is a very light, mild honey. I assume it’s clover but no honey is pure. I’m not sure it’s as good as the “normal” honey we gather but it’s interesting.

I’ll give some jars to my neighbors to try to keep them happy with my shenanigans.
