What's in your vegetable garden?

[Devland]

I haven’t tried that. I give them a good shake to spread the pollen but I’ve never hand pollinated. I’ll try this year.

A farmer near me had told me about it.

Surprised at the amount of eggplants. I find the yield and space to be not worth the effort.

Try Japanese eggplants, they produce more wbut are skinny.

Vegetables and my wife.

Basil, onions, dill, 4 types of tomatoes, 3 types of peppers, 2 types of cucumbers, lots of zucchini and lots of bee friendly flowers. Grow from seed and have had great luck with seeds from highmowing. Always looking to dabble, any recommendations out here.

Do you stuff and fry the zucchini blossoms?

Mix goat cheese and either cream cheese or ricotta, lemon juice, basil, fresh parsley, salt, pepper, and onion. Make a simple beer batter (flour, beer, baking powder, salt, pepper). Deep fryer on 400 for 2-3 minutes.

I use rice flour and club soda for a tempura batter too. And let's be honest. It has to be ricotta.

First time we've really been able to have a garden to ourselves. Got plenty of tomatoes, peppers, and some tomatillos in some wire cages. A few rows of snap peas and some field peas. The cool weather has helped the brassicas (kale, broccoli, cauliflower) to absolutely take off while the lettuce has been yearning for some warmer weather. The garden is capped off by a row of sunflowers on the north side. Next year I'd love to take a swing at sweet corn

 

[ColchVEGAS]

@len0322 if you are looking for seeds check out Comstock Ferre in Wethersfield. Great selection of seeds and I usually get a great germination rate, even with seeds that I have left over.

@andy34 do not wish for too much warmer weather it tends to make lettuce bolt. Pick it quick.

Lol That didn't take long. I was going to say my ex wife.

 

[Fishy]

I have a tomato plant on my deck.

I am attentively caring for it at the moment, but it will die because I will not keep it up.

 

[David 76]

Flowers. Just not enough sun . I gave up.

I still hand pollinate though. Lots of experience.

it's coming up on mid-august. just wondering about everyone's result's so far. the family motto 'no snow, no crops' (not literally, but figuratively) feels kinda true, again. in ground fig trees just laughing at us ('grow, dangit, grow!), tomatoes kinda pokey, raspberries done now (good yields, but smallish fruit), cukes needing a bit extra attention to prevent yellowing and bellying, everything sorta not bad, but not great either. all the wild stuff (chestnuts, etc) are definitely undersized. where are the wasps? and, anyone seeing that black/blue butterfly? I noticed it starting around independence day, and have heard sightings from rhody to ny.

Didn't do a garden this year, but as always, my compost heap is growing just about everything.

We don’t stuff them. Fry them flat in a frying pan with very light batter, add a touch of kosher salt, serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping. They’re ridiculously addictive, like potato chips. We just did a few dozen the other night.

 

[fatlucy]

6 vine tomatoes, basil, squash, zucchini, cukes, strawberries, blueberries, rosemary and my fig tree is fruiting.

maybe I did this wrong with just a bump to the original thread. a new thread asking about results might be a better way. anyway, how would you describe your crops thus far? are those in ground figs? brown turkeys?

This came from somebody else's garden:

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I think a rabbit. A lot of snapped zucchini stems and chewed up leaves.
