My family is visiting for the week, so I have an extra outlet for all these squashes and zucchini. One of our pumpkins is going haam and I’m excited for those to start ripening.

What’s growing on with you all?

    We had a windstorm last week and one of my tomato trellises snapped, ohhh noooo! The good news is all the vines survived with minor injuries and are on a new trellis.

    I’ve been getting ground cherries by the handful! Time to make jam…

    We’ve been getting green beans galore, the peppers are peppering, and the corn continues to corn!

    I’m very happy, as my pumpkin vines decided to grow four new gourds! Hooray! The kabocha I’m growing is also doing great, and has a couple new gourds as well! We won’t starve this winter!

    The bad garden news is two out of my five cucumber vines have perished, for no real reason I can tell :(

      Glad to see your garden still going strong despite the unruly weather! That squash appears to have a good deal of powdery mildew, and I’m curious if the others are dealing with similar conditions. Otoh, I see some of the powder on the mulch surface and wonder if you were treating them with something (perhaps baking soda)
