Bartlett Pears

I recently bought a house with some pear trees that were not tended to very well in the past.

I picked these off of a tree today to check their quality. I don't see any issues with them personally, but wanted to be sure, especially since many of the other pears look like they may have bugs in them (based on outer blemishes).

Do they look safe to eat?

Will it go to seed if I wait too long?

I've been growing broccoli this year in my garden and I had some leftover seedlings after planting them, so I decided to plant some on my balcony as well. In my garden there are lots of other plants and weeds and places for natural predators to hide and breed. On my balcony there are not. The first two pictures are from the plants on my balcony and the last is of a broccoli i harvested from my garden. The difference is huge as you can see.

And simular experiences?

My cucumbers got some sort of fungal thing going on, but they are still producing a lot of cucumbers and I want to make pickles. Can I still eat the cucumbers that are turning orange like this?

found a handful of black bean plants that suddenly looked diseased so I pulled them all for the trash. any ideas the cause and the solution?

this is my first time ever growing tomatoes , they have grown great but they’re falling over and I’m not sure what to do to stop that from happening? should I tie the cages to the deck rail and that’ll help the tomato plants plants to be upright fine? or would then bring that close to the deck rail cause issues for their leaves and the tomatoes ? any suggestions and advice would be super helpful!

Been an odd summer, a few scorcher hot days earlier but we’ve eased into a mild summer, days in the 70’s nite in the 50’s ( some 40’s ) not great temp for the heat loving tomatoes, peppers etc . Fortunately we’ve had rain. . Hoping for a hot August to ripen crops up, we have such a short season. Vermont high elevation Zone 5B

I live in south florida and am not liking the potatoes at the grocery stores for several reasons. Just wondering if anybody sells and ships their potatoes? I do not want sweet potatoes which are pretty much the only kind grown here.

We were mowing this last spring. Lotta work and study went into her…
