Vegetable Gardening

Planning on giving away most of this. For our family of three we grew way too much. Turning some of this into Salsas and a special Pico de Gallo Salsa that’s made from lemon cucumber, tomato, corn, peanut, red onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt.

More “can you spot the squash vine borer egg?” After some practice, it gets easier to see the little rust colored eggs stuck to stems and immature flowers. \#gardening #vegetablegardening #zucchini #svb @VegetableGardening

5 loofah vines planted this year. They do well on j-hook trellises.

Hoping these are the mini pumpkins we planted.

Hello! How was your week and what progress did you see in your garden? What are you happy or unhappy with? Time to share your experiences!

Personally I've been fighting a nasty invasion in my brassicas that destroyed the daikons. At least the broccoli looks okay.

On the good news front, I've been blessed with delicious lettuces that keep coming back, my beans are thriving, I get a new courgette every other day and I've seen my first cucumber flowers. Here's hoping they give me many fruits!

Our month of June was very hot and dry, but fortunately a good rain helped us this week. Water management is a challenge though, and I'm a bit torn between my desire for a good harvest and my efforts to keep watering to a minimum to avoid waste.

My cucumbers and broccoli seedlings are coming along well in their new cheapo greenhouse!

As we are starting this magazine/community from scratch, I'd like to hear if you have expectations or wishes for the direction of this sub. I'm open to all suggestions!

Personally I'm happy to just share our tips and experiences about gardening, and I hope we can build a good community and become a ressource for fellow hobbyists.

What do you all think? I'd love to hear from you.
