What did you do in the garden today?

Top to bottom: Pumpkins and corn have sprouted, sunflowers, bougainvillea, a potato bush the chickens decimated. I surrounded it with a tomato cage wrapped in chicken wire until it was tall enough they can't jump and eat the highest leaves. Lemons are turning yellow and the willow acacia we planted not long after we moved into this house. It was about my height when planted.

I picked about ten cherry tomatoes and a cucumber today. I also watered my plants, have been having to do this twice a day this summer.

My pumpkin plant has been flowering for months now, and has had all sorts of insects pollinating it. I still don't see any pumpkins starting.

If you only have 1 plant then it could be self incompatible or pollen sterile .

I have two pumpkin plants...sorry should have specified that. They are growing right next to each other so I always just say the pumpkin plant. I know it is a risk even with two for them not to produce. I had about six, but all the rain we had in April killed the majority of them

I didn't do much today. It was my mom's 65th birthday today and we gave her a surprise party. I did pick 2 cantaloups, a couple of cukes, and a few cherry tomatoes. My squashes have started climbing a tree, so I am just letting them do it.

I like it for the most part. The thorns, not so much, yowza it seems to grow better the more I ignore it though.

I'm trying the vinegar and water seed cleaning method with cantaloup seeds tonight. Thanks for the tip @jerryse
