Impressed by your Romas again.

I have 4 watermelons growing that I've found so far.


Honeynut butternut squash. Supposedly they only get 4-5 inches.


Lima and green beans are flowering like crazy. Dragon tongue beans are getting full as well.


Haul from this afternoon.


About ready to rip my tomato plants out and prepare for pumpkins and winter squash. Made a sweet relish this weekend and chopped everything by hand. Not sure if I'll like the texture.

What’s your timeline here and what do you do to prepare? I’ve been waiting to get a fall garden started

Nice! Looking great!

Do you plant pumpkins to have for Halloween? I guess I need to go look at the planting guide and see when I’ll need to plant for that. I’m pretty sure it’s in June. My sunflowers are just about done and the pumpkins will be going in their place.

Speaking of sunflowers, this is one of the big reasons why I plant them.


How nice of them to congregate all in one place. That makes my control methods a little easier. I’ve noticed very few of these on all of my other plants.

ETA: “For a Halloween harvest plant 6/15-7/10”

So it looks like I’ll need to get that raised bed ready. The sunflowers have a couple of weeks left to do their thing.
