Took these a few days ago, worst looking tomato patch I've had in years, the months of constant rain just destroyed them. Then to make matters worse, something is eating on about half the tomatoes that I am getting. Going out and looking at the garden isn't very exciting this year and kind of depressing. I probably wouldn't even post these if I hadn't started this thread! I doubt if I'm selling many veggies this year.
These mini pumpkins are looking good though...
Then I have some cantaloupe and some of those personal sized watermelon going
No cantaloupe yet but I do have some of those personal sized melons on the vines.
Bed of peppers is starting to fruit, I've been giving them some simple compost tea, the ones on the end here still want to yellow off. All the rain pretty well flushed the soil on everything. My peppers seem really late getting going this year, last year I think I was picking a lot of peppers about now.
Does anyone know what this is? I'm thinking it might be swiss chard flowering. Whatever it is, it survived the winter like a boss and was looking huge early on so I let it live, now it's flowering. Hoping it's swiss chard so I can replenish my seeds.
This pumpkin patch just came up out of nowhere, I thought they were zucchini at first, I've never grown pumpkins before this year. I might have thrown one in the compost pile though.
Here's my cucumbers... which are looking ok but I've noticed that a lot of the cucumbers I'm getting have this weird nipple shaped end on them, I'm guessing some sort of deficiency from the rain flushing the soil out or the roots being too wet to take up nutrients well.
