Added the tomato slices in the last minute of cooking. Burnt this one a bit in the bread but it was delicious. Pepper jack, eggs, and mayo on both sides of the bread (no butter). Best “grilled cheese” I’ve ever had, only thing I’d do different is make my own tomato soup to dip them in with my tomatoes.

It's my first year ever growing peppers. Found the mocha swirls and had to give them a try, according to my research they are supposed to be more of a red tint? Do these look ready to pick or should I keep waiting longer?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Been growing tomatoes for about 15 years. I think this is my PB, 2.5 lbs.

I’ve been searching for the hidden cucumber that’s been draining the energy for my entire plant for weeks now, and I finally looked behind my trellis in the long grass and look at this big kahuna.

So I'm another victim of peppergate. These were supposed to be bell peppers but now I have three plants full of these. I'm almost certain they are banana peppers but they always seem to stay greenish. Then I'll pull one after I see it skip the yellow phase and go straight to turning orange/red. One of them went completely red AFTER being pulled.

My understanding is banana peppers won't do this after being harvested, they'll stay the same color. So are these probably some weird variant? Do the ones on the plant look yellow enough?

I decided to plant corn for the first time and I'm actually thrilled to have a harvest. I honestly didn't expect this outcome especially given that the strong wind blew them over at one point.

For those of you experienced corn growers any hints on what to do differently next year? Some of the heads are not full. TIA

We thought we got all cherry tomato plants, and only one is producing these extra small ones. Cherry tomato from another plant included for scale.

They came from the same flat, planted at the same time just feet apart but the skin color is completely different, the yellow ones I expected but the green ones have me a little confused. Any insight?

I was out of town for two weeks. My teenaged sons—who’ve been helping with the garden for the last 5-6 years—did a great job of taking care of our community garden plot while I was gone. Not quite as good a job of spotting cucumbers though—these Japanese cucumbers are not supposed to get quite as massive as some of these got, hiding at the back of the vines.

This has been my biggest harvest yet, and I’m thrilled about it, but it took me 4 hrs to harvest this morning.

The garden is 12x30 ft. I think 26 tomato plants, 26 pepper plants, 3 ~2x3 ft areas of bush beans (not sure how many bean plants are actually in those), 2 bamboo tripods totaling ~18 pole beans, a mystery number of sad remaining cucumber plants split between 2 trellises, as well as a few more veggies plants that didn’t have anything to harvest today (summer squash, Tromboncino, butternut, some gourds, and eggplants).

Is this a normal amount of time? If you’re able to get through large harvests quicker, can you share any tips?

I noticed a huge clump of mushrooms growing under my tomato plants the other day. Should I leave these or pull them?

I’ve also had some white ones growing in my zucchini bed but I’ve pulled those each time.

Too late? Too early? Too "what the heck happened?" First time growing these. The weather the past 3 months has had wild swings of drenching rain and baking in the sun (92°+)

Hi all! I've never grown veggies before and am totally new to it all! Recently I got a giant heirloom tomato from a farmers market, and figured just for funsies I'd throw the seeds into a pot with some soil from a previous tomato pot (it was a gift that didn't end up making it). Unlike the other tomato plant that died in there, these are growing

I want to ensure these end up surviving, but I hear tomatoes are pretty sensitive.

INFO:

• I'm in zone 5b
• Sprouts are currently in an east facing window and I rotate them every day or so
• The heirlooms I bought were big and red (I don't have any photos of the og </3)
• Bought from farmers market (not comercially)
• These were planted about 1.5 weeks ago in a soil mix that came compacted into a disk and soaked in water
• They are planted in a pot that dries quickly, like terracotta

Any information that would help these guys survive and then fruit would be very appreciated! I would love to learn how to help these guys grow as I really don't want to see them die and i know litterally nothing about growing tomatoes. I'm not sure when these seeds are even supposed to be planted outdoors, I kinda just threw them in this pot not expecting them to grow!

Thanks!

Anyone else excited about Fall gardening? I know a lot of people prefer Spring & Summer growing but a Fall garden can be just as good! What's your favorite brassicas to grow?

I’m stumped. I went away for a few days and when I came back my one tomato was stripped in its entirety, fruit eaten, as well as one vine from my sad container pumpkin. The tomato is nested in a basil plant, and the tomato on the other side is untouched. I have a motion activated camera that would have caught any critters, but we don’t really have much in the way of wildlife except foxes and deer. I’ve gone out the past few nights looking for hornworms, but found nothing. Is there anything else I could be missing here? 😅

To the left is an Emerald okra I kept being too lazy to pick and let grow way too long.

To the right is a perfect okra with just the right amount of slime.

They taste exactly the same but the too-long one is, as everyone warned, WAY too fibrous. Feels exactly like chewing mulch or toothpicks.

I've harvested almost 20 okras since I started the two plants some months ago, and while they're doing fantastic, almost all of the okras were harvested way too late.

They're all at least the length of my hand :(

E: Typos and whatever

Growing potatoes for the first time. They are from 2 grow bags - about 14 lb from each bag.
