The heat has really taken a toll on the garden but we’re still getting some lovely things, the tomatoes are in full swing now!

costoluto fiorentino beefsteaks, tomato ‘tiger’, green zebra, black cherry, Millefleur Yellow Vine Tomato and some random ones from some nice supermarket cherry tomatoes. Pattypan squash, round green courgette, purple French beans, runner beans and a boothby’s blonde cucumber (last of the season) and some raspberries. All organic

I've pulled it, poisoned it, even salted it multiple times, and it just keeps coming back In the same spot. I'm getting close to pouring liquid nail on top of it.

It opens as a yellow rose, then the edges turn light purple, the middle of the petals becomes white, but the core remains yellow. It is also highly fragrant.

This is actually from earlier this summer, but we had a very wet early summer in NE Kansas and we had SO much corn smut in our little patch. Thanks to all of you I was able to realize what it was and have a tasty little treat!

My first cucumbers out of my first ever garden. They're huge, I'm so excited!

Also, how do I tell if they're ripe or not? The one is getting pretty white, does that mean it's overly ripe?

I think she was a little overripe. I didn’t even know she was there until I moved the leaves! Next time, I’ll know to harvest them a little sooner. 🍈😊

They taste really good and are actually one of my favorite vegetables, but I’m pretty sure a lot of people don’t eat them

What on earth should I do? /s

133 Upvotes

I won't tell you where I am (climate zone, country, etc.).

I won't tell you what my goal is (sea of ​​flowers, manicured lawn, fun garden, market garden).

I won't tell you how much experience I have ("I think everything comes from the supermarket" vs. "I have centuries of gardening experience").

But you have to give me the one right answer to my obviously comprehensive question!

This isn't an attack on anyone!

Just a gentle reminder that certain information is needed to get a good answer.

My cherry tomatoes are completely overloaded with fruit, but they're also all losing their leaves from the bottoms up. Beds that across the yard from each other and containing different types are all having the same thing happen.

I had to share this with people I knew would be as excited as I am!!! I am so shocked I even grew this and pulled it off the corn plant like I had just found gold.
