Below is an excellent example of the Cucumber support trellis letting the fruit hang down so they are perfectly straight and easy to find. Those three are all on the same vine. I always buy my Cucumber seed from Johnny's Seeds because they seem to have the best disease resistant hybrid varieties. These are Gateway.
Two years ago I saved seeds from a Pumpkin I bought at the store in October. I didn't get around to planting them last year, but this year I found a spot. The largest has gone past basketball size and is starting to turn orange.
The next two are approaching basketball size. Oddly enough, because the Ppumpkin I bought was undoubtedly a hybrid, some of the Pumpkins are coming out yellow. There have been more yellows at the base of the blooms, but this one is the only one that has set and stayed.
My second generation "Compost Queen Cantaloupes" have produced a dozen fruit.
They are looking more smooth than segmented. We'll see....
The first blush of color on the slicing tomatoes. It may be hard to see, but I am looking closely every day and I see it.
Today was a colorful harvest. Cherry Tomatoes, an Eggplant and some orange Bell Peppers.
The Candy Onions are beginning to fall over showing that they are done growing and ready to cure. I put them in the shade every day until the green leaves dry and turn brown.
Dahlia of the Day: Happy Single Date
One petal has dropped off, but the Bumble Bees still love it.
