Picked first bell pepper of the year

 

[SAM]

Last time I was in the garden was Saturday, so of course...



That zuch was kinda hidden, so must've missed it and it got big. The summer squash went from way too small to too big in two days. The Unagi's from the garden pots are getting away from me too.

Curing the rest of the onions on the deck. Ate most of them already.



And picked concord grapes.

Last of the beets and some carrots.


Bell peppers


Lots of tomatoes and more coming



I like these Early Long Purple eggplant. Still producing.


Some more Butterstick summer squash


Pablanos coming


Unagi cucumbers. Three from deck plants and one from garden plants.



Butternut squash bloom

some peppers and summer squash



And, after about 15 matoes on Sunday, got 34 today. Only 4 plants, so yields are great right now. Too great. 14 of todays matoes were from the Medium Rare Hybrid pink variety. Pretty good for a single vine.



Time to alert the neighbors...

Hi neighbor, lol
Your squash is producing well late into the season. Is that normal?

No, not really normal and the plants don't look good at all. Maybe it's this summer squash variety because I haven't gotten a zuch in a while. They are likely done.

Was out of town last week and then some, my neighbor was going to take from the garden, but this is what I came back to.

The tomatoes look great. I can’t find decent Jersey tomatoes anywhere locally. They’re all light red.
This is prime tomato, basil, and cheese season. I’ll have to hit some farm stands.

Non-tomato related over the last few days.

The Unagi cucumbers on the covered deck are still going.


Yup.


Unagi from the garden pots and summer squash.


Spaghetti squash


A couple of cantaloupe

 

[SAM]

Tomatoes still going but may be showing signs of slowing down. Chocolate Cherries are more productive than the Sweet Million cherries for some reason. Pablanos look nice. Unagi cukes on the deck still going strong.







Garden tomato flatbread pizza for lunch 🙂

Planted this tomato in a flower harden just because i had extra. The rain really wrecked some of my tomatoes but the bottoms are good

The Unagi cukes are a win. Between the pots on the screened deck and in the garden I got six over the last two days with more coming. The regular cukes in the garden are pretty sad, but I did get one today. Also, assorted other stuff (even a zuch, which got too big while I was away).

Our best year so far for Tromboncino squash. Have cocuzza squash coming in too

 

[SAM]

Unagi cuke, a regular cuke, and a summer squash on Thursday.



Unagi cukes, peppers, tomatoes, a summer squash and some acorn squash yesterday.


Another Unagi cuke from the deck added to the three from the garden pots.

Tomato's have slowed down, cherry tomatoes have stayed consistent, but slow.

As described before, I think I'm going to go raised beds for next season, or at least start them, with some modifications.

Fig tree is loaded

Holy cow, I want! Where did you get those?

I haven't been around the Ringwood official patch during the last month, but the neighbor's wildly overgrown front yard patch is loaded. Sounds like this is a good year for paw paws.
