Is it still coat weather? Aren't your summer days longer, is it still that fresh or are you built like a shelf? Even if you were built like Sylvester Schwarzennorris, flax would go full diogenes on your ass.

Noticed my tomatillo had blossomed today!

Spoiler: My tomatillo don't want none unless you got sun hun (click to show/hide)

My tomatoes have begun bearing fruit! Nothing ripe yet.

[Arx]

Mine are just stubbornly getting taller.

I mean, I did plant them in late autumn but I refuse to be bound by mortal laws on this. They will fruit, dammit, if I have to burn down all of Paris.

I traded a few of my tomatoes and a tomatillo for more tomatoes, another chili, and a paprika!

Very jealous! I just got my first tomato flower this past week.

Fires are a well-practiced way for keeping crops warm during frosty nights! I approve of burning Paris

Holy shit my tomato plants started growing terrifying above ground root nodules because I water them so much.

The vines burst and have little white creepy growths.

If you bury them deeper, they will thrive better.


For my own gardening fun---  The carrots seem to be doing well.  The squash (including the pumpkins) have started flowering.

I have lots of volunteer tomato plants from discards last year.

Only 2 of the absurd number of swiss chard plants did anything.

I have a few scrawny looking pepper plants going from the seeds I planted.

The basil is trying to do something.

Some cilantro is trying to grow.


Noshows:  Rosemary, thyme, mint, most of the peppers

My rosemary is huge, my raspberry bush has beetles eating the leaves.

On the chilis I traded from my friend the baby fruits are turning purple. Should I be concerned? Is she trying to murder me?

[Dunamisdeos]

My Cilantro and dill plants are dying, I got sick for a couple days and the 97 degree heat started killin em. I think they're starting to bounce back, but I might not get anything else out of them this year ;-;

Also, my tomatoes started rotting on the vine. I probably over-fertilized them. One of the plants isn't showing any sign of this, and my cherry tomatoes are producing well.

Should I be worried about beetles eating my raspberry leaves?

[dragdeler]

I can think of one plant that can turn purple if the nights are cold. Apparantly it's just "autumn molecules" (there is different kinds for different colors) it's not something uncommon or worrysome. It doesn't lower the quality of the produce of the plant I know, but it might be worth checking if that goes for chilis too. Might just be a strain that tends towards a more excentric coloring too. Not red tomatoes are often total bangers.



Depends on the beetles, though hardshelled insects are usually not our biggest concern. And maybe flush the tomatoes if you don't risk harming them with aggressive watering. Then again are you sure it's because of fertilization?



I started way too late, my tomatoes strawberries and bell peppers are boring and there is nothing of interest to show. Should have listened to the packaging instead of waiting for 0% frost chance.

[Dunamisdeos]

I did a lot of fertilization, and according to the internet rotting on the vine and growing roots along the vine are signs that i over-fertilized. It makes the plant grow faster but also can cause those problems.

[dragdeler]

I did a lot of fertilization

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[None]

Basilfriend has grown to be about the height of my forearm, so I have cut him down by half and have taken the topmost portion to propagate in a glass of water. With a little luck, I'll have Henry the 2nd!

...You lads happen to have an incantation to promote new root growth? Besides doing a lot of fertilization? :U
