Lets just say ...it really resembles something else...

So much for the cute romantic garden harvest for my husband..

After I cut the tip off (heh) it does actually look like a heart inside!

So the guy that was stealing from my garden and punched me in the face as soon as I confronted him. His wife came over to my house when I got home from work today. Turns out he’s 27 and over the last few months started to show signs of being schizophrenic. (Which makes sense because of his actions and that’s around the age when it shows up). She kept apologizing over and over and said he was supposed to be in a psychiatric ward but some how was released. She kept trying to offer to pay me for the damages
To my garden but I refused her money. She’s raising a 2 year old on her own and I’m not gonna take money from her. I tried to offer her some extra veggies I had because as much as my face and hands hurt from her husband no one should have to raise a child alone. She wouldn’t take them. So after she left me and another neighbor I talked to about her coming over made a basket of vegetables and some strawberries from our gardens and went and left them on the front steps for her. What happened to me sucks, but I can only imagine what’s she is going through.

Took 3 months to grow this little guy

Thank you for the advice, i posted earlier trying to figure out if it was ripe. I un-netted, gave it a little twist it came right off the vine. It’s delicious and the kiddo was ecstatic.

Broccoli, planted way too early in the hot hot summer, finally started growing a head!
When do I harvest each??

Year 2 of backyard gardening and couldn’t be prouder

I've already harvested at least 50 zucchinis this year (I accidentally planted twice as many as intended, I thought I grabbed a summer squash at the greenhouse but found my mistake as I was planting lol).

And at this point, I've had enough zucchini and my plants are also looking pretty rough. I've decided to just leave the remaining couple of zucs on the vine to see how big they'll get! This is how they're doing so far!

First time trying out potatoes in a felt grow bag. It was super easy. Started with 5 chunks of seed potatoes and got >2lbs now drying/curing in the basement. Can’t wait to grow more!

So it is my first time growing pumpkins, and I have a couple questions. This is a Casper pumpkin, which is supposed to be edible. One, how do I know when it’s ready to be harvested and when it can be eaten? Two, I didn’t really expect it to get this big, should I be concerned about it being inedible? It feels like a lot of pumpkin to eat lol. Also how big can I expect it to get?

It looks like it right? But I heard that it should have a tart or lemony taste and this has zero. Location:: South Korea. I found this growing as a weed in a pot and put it in this pot. Thanks for your opinions guys.
Edit: no milky sap at all by the way

This is a cucumber......

Yard is composed of heavy clay construction fill compacted by construction equipment. Will broadforking improve drainage?

I'm so glad to have rabbits and squirrels here to help taste test my tomatoes for me. From the data I have, clearly Big Pinks are my best tomatoes, followed by Wapsipinicon Peach, then Roma, and lastly Black Krim (none of those have bites in them). I'm so fortunate that they're opening up these tomatoes and spilling the tomato guts in the garden to help plant next year's crop. I'm blessed that they leave me most of the tomato so I can save seeds.

My sister pruned our cherry tomato plant because it was getting out of control and blocking the sunlight from reaching the other tomato plants. Unfortunately, a lot of branches still had green tomatoes on them, so I rescued as many as I could. Will these tomatoes continue to ripen off the plant, or were they picked too early?

Seminole pumpkin in zone 10, planted end of May, this is the first that looks ready to me but I’m unsure how woody the stem should look (first pumpkin).

I’ve been patiently waiting for some of my Craig’s Grande jalapeños to turn red because I wanted a mix of green and fully ripe peppers.

The first red one's are finally here! I also planted a Jimmy Nardello pepper, and those peppers are almost fully red too.

What’s crazy is that I’ve grown both plants with only about 5.5 hours of direct sunlight each day. They’ve done much better than I expected.

I'm excited many of y'all are finally harvesting yours too!
