buckbull, you're such a show off. Really that is good looking veggies. Good going. The turtle pic was kind of a shock.
My mini personal watermelon are growing along with the cantaloupe. Finally getting Armenian cucumbers. My gherkins are doing their usual going crazy and producing.
Just happy when neighbors stop by that don't have gardens they go home happy.
Tomatoes are the only thing that I have that are really doing well. Cantelope and watermelon have been ok. Had some plants get to maturity and die without producing fruit. Zucchini is about dead and I only picked 4, squash bugs nailed it this year even though I sprayed. I have 12 pepper plants and have picked a single banana pepper.
buckbull, use diatomaceous earth on your plants. It's safe for kids and animals. I bought a sprayer for aphids and a 4lb bag off of Amazon. Harris-diatomaceous earth food grade and a sprayer.
It'll help with all the squash bugs.
Got a plentiful harvest of weeds from the garden this morning. A good weeding was overdue.
Also managed to get some peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, green beans and still getting blackberries.
Wife made eggplant parm for lunch and I've got some ham in the pot for ham and green beans for dinner.
Pulled out the lettuce. Getting old and bitter. Decided to pull 3 plants of the gherkins. We can't keep up and people are starting to be leery of us. Don't need more veggies.
Cut several feet off the Armenian cucumber vines. All male flowers not producing much. Picked green beans. Flowering slowed way down. Might be getting close to pulling them.
Tomatoes just starting to ripen. Peppers doing okay not great. As much water as I use it might be more profitable to wait for the guy from the valley to come in and just buy a lot from him. But we do like our fresh veggies. Replanted lettuce and carrots where the Mexican sour cuc's were and everything is already coming up. What a difference very warm soil makes.
Just waiting on the cantaloupe and watermelons to ripen.
