What did you do in the garden today?

I love this song!

We are having the same problem. My yellow tomatoes and a few cherries have ripened. But none of our standard, reds. Our summer has been wetter and cooler than average. I hope we get a long enough season to harvest some. Same with my squash plants. I had one, thumb-sized sugar pumpkin that I lost to blossom end rot. I've gotten 2 zucchini. NO acorn squash, whatsoever. The plants are thriving - but no fruit

Yeah, I hope we get some tomatoes as my dad and I, especially my dad, are really looking forward to it! I hope you get some too! My squash I’ve had no issues with except in the beginning something ate them down twice but they came back and the one has TONS of flowers and little squash growing and the other two only have like 1-2 growing atm but yeah.

I did something different this year when I planted my tomatoes,,, after watching it done on a youtube video -- I put an egg in each hole, and I put my tomato in deep, up to the first 2 leaves. and for the first time ever I have 5 red tomatoes , now, before September. Typically I never get a red tomato until Sept. The plants are the deepest green I have ever had.

First pic is dead cucumber beetles. This is a test squash treated with Imidacloprid. No live bugs on this one. Pic is my own breeding of summer squash. Trying for SVB resistance.

Thanks! I’ll have to try that next year

NO acorn squash, whatsoever. The plants are thriving - but no fruit

I'm hoping I don't have a repeat of last year with my butternut squash.
-Great looking plants
-lots of male flowers
-da da da da da, dum dee dee dee, da da da da da....
-Oh! It's late August. Maybe I should put out a female flower...? 1? Or 2?
-yeah. Nothing.

I put an egg in each hole

Whole, or broken open?

Good morning Gardeners. Tried the egg thing last year it was way to wet.
This year water daily drought conditions.

Exactly. I wonder if it's something I'm doing. I know other people getting lots of zucchini
