What is this? Some sort of hibiscus?

I appreciate the suggestion but aren’t parthenocarpic varieties seedless? I’m a seed saver.

The cooler temperatures are triggering the indeterminate tomatoes. They're starting to yellow. I'll let them go as long as they'll let me.
Processing 60 pounds of them today.

I saw a tomato that was blushing this morning and grabbed it. It can finish inside. It may likely be the only slicing tomato I’ll harvest this year. The really good news this morning was I spotted a yellow squash forming on one of my plants. There are emerging male flowers developing as well. I’m so excited.

I prepped the little round bed to plant golden beets and more lettuce. My curly kale seeds arrived, so tomorrow morning I’ll rip up that red kale and plant the curly kale. I tried feeding some of that red kale to the chickens and they ignored it.

I got a strawberry seed to germinate
I hope the rest do too

I have a random strawberry plant in my garden that must've came from a bird that ate the neighbors berries and dropped its load in my garden. LOL

I got some of the soil tests with the capsules, I ran the PH test and am currently waiting (im)patiently for the water/soil solution to settle for the other three. Tentatively soil is neutral.

I’ve got what I think is a raspberry plant in my melon planter that I assume arrived similarly. I know the birds have been fertilizing my garden regularly; I’ll have to re-think my trellis arrangement next time I use them.
