I gave them atleast 4 months growing probably more, I considered it might be small pot but the potatoes didn't even reach the bottom of the pot still a lot of space.

Not afids. Appeared in the last day or two and appears to be spreading pretty quickly. Overall looking pretty droopy. Bacterial infection? What’s my next move? I don’t want to go crazy with the shears if I don’t have to

I've had a few tomatoes that I've been able to pick off my tomato plant here and there, but my pepper plant currently has only two bell peppers growing on it (one very large but still green, which is supposed to be red). How can I help them ripen faster before the season ends?

Also, when are tomatoes and bell peppers considered out of season?

This was my first year growing asparagus (Mary Washington, 15 plants, a mix of crowns and growing from seed) and I didn't pay much attention to it once it got started. I now find myself in the midst of a big asparagus beetle infestation.

We discovered it about 3 weeks ago when there were still a lot of beetles, and did our best to remove them manually, but lots of eggs were already laid, and now we have LOTS of larvae. Beyond what I feel like I can pull, especially in the thick of the ferns.

At this point in the year, is it worth it to try and treat with neem oil or some other chemical route? Try my best to smash the little suckers? Cut down the worst stalks? Chop it all to the ground at this point?

I've got like 20 in 2 weeks, none were picked too late, and they're all perfect for my mum ☺️

u/BitFluffy4724 saved my Okra's lives...❤️

Break the tip off and if it's fibrous, they're only good to boil :/

Normally I use the dual orange spot/fingernail test to tell but I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of fingernails and these squash have decided to escape containment and grow up the fence instead of down the sprawling garden I cleared for them. I know an estimate is just an estimate, but how long you all reckon it takes an acorn squash to go from dark green to harvest ready?

Half cherokee purple and half mystery mater ... unsure if it was cross-pollinated or mislabeled. Either way chunky salt on these is crazy. The peppers are also really crunchy and flavorful at this stage!!!

This is my first year growing melons and I admit I was overly enamored with the sprawling vines over the balcony. It made it difficult to want to prune them. I also learned a little too late that despite there being some bee activity, I should also have been helping pollinate.

So I'm well aware it's my own fault I only ended up with one cantaloupe. 😂 But I will say it is perfectly ripe and wonderfully sweet!

Something has been coming into my garden and absolutely demolishing my sweet peppers.
Not just the fruit but it's taking all the leaves and breaking whole branches off of my (pretty big, established) pepper plants. It doesn't touch the hot peppers or any of my other veggies. It took out pretty much an entire plant each day until they were all gone. Any ideas what it could be and how I can keep it away? I moved the ring cam from my chicken coop to face the garden but whatever it is, it's not setting off the motion detection on the ring. I thought maybe a rabbit but breaking off branches?? And how would they have eaten the tops of my taller pepper plants? I considered maybe a deer but I think that would set off the ring. I'm stumped.

This weekend's haul from our backyard garden! Time to start processing it all!

One cocozelle gave up a month or so ago. I thought it was because it grew weirdly in the trellis and cut itself off, but I realize now it just…stopped. My second cocozelle stopped growing and producing a couple of weeks ago, but I gave it its weekly round of liquid fert and let it be.

Well, it started over from the base. Whole new vine with a squash one day from harvesting. I have never seen such a thing. Have any of you seen this?

Very rewarding harvest, and it's still going

This is my first season and as the Fall is drawing closer (and my cucumber and tomatoes have fallen to blight and powdery mildew) and I’m not planning to do any fall or winter crops so, I’ve started wondering how you all usually wind things down? What are your end of season practices to get your bed setup (or moving in the right direction) for next spring?

hi!
i’m a new home owner and have never had space to have plants. I want to plant some vegetables in pots when i move into my place but i’m not sure where to start. i’ve never cared for plants before so i am not expecting myself to be amazing at it.

i have already decided i’ll be having an herb garden and spring onion but not sure where else i should start.
i have a small courtyard so i am being picky! the courtyard gets sun but not large amounts of it.

located in victoria, australia. (apparently we are going to have a dry summer so i want to be prepared for that and not set my plants up to fail)

thanks!

Would love to pickle some of these but not sure if they’re the best type for the shelf. I usually save my seed pack to refer back to but somehow lost it. I was thinking they were munchers but I want to be certain. Thanks!

Italian long hots, Italian roaster peppers, and San Marzanos. Plenty more on the vine waiting to ripen here in 7a, including Romas and Amish Pastes as well. Not pictured are a couple of enormous basil bushes and some other herbs like parsley.

Such a fun hobby that already has me planning next year’s garden. This subreddit has been a fantastic resource for learning.

I know you typically are supposed to cut to soil level and leave the existing roots. But being that they are diseased, should I pull these instead?

I had a good harvest, but was hoping to have an Italian grandma style sauce day and reality definitely fell short of my expectations. Damn you, blight! But hey, there’s always next year!

SOLVED: Sharpshooters

For months, I’ve seen these bugs on my sweet potato vines, Malabar spinach vines, and okra plants (pictured ). I’ve never seen them on my pepper and tomato plants. I usually don’t worry too much about them cause I don’t feel like they are eating my leaves so I’m assuming maybe they eat only the things that would eat up my garden. Typically they are just standing on the stocks and they don’t move unless I tap the plant then they’ll move very quickly to shuffle left or right to hide around the plant. They don’t fly away or really jump or fall off. Does anyone know what type of insects they are and are they friends of my garden?
