Digging ours up next weekend. I did spot check some to give to my parents. Found this purple hand grenade potato. I need to get the onions all cured so these potatoes can go on the rack to dry.



Lost one side of a Hubbard squash to SVB. It’s still kicking though! We’re already at giving away squash stage. Tomatoes are struggling this year.

I let ours go right at 90 days. Yield was less than expected. Not sure what happened outside of a leaf blight from that stretch of heavy rain.

I'll get the rows back in shape for okra seed.

My tomato plants are not aesthetically pleasing this year, but they’re still producing. Although one of my Paul Robeson plants is done. There’s no more fruit on it and it isn’t making any more flowers. So I’m gonna pull it.

My blue hubbard plant finally got the attention of the vine borers. I’ve been noticing eggs on them, and less on my squash and zucchini. Also, the darn cucumber beetles are bad this year for me! On the plus side, the systemic that I feed the blue hubbard plant is definitely working. I’ve been seeing some chewed up leaves with dead cucumber beetles on them. I’m anxious to see if it kills the vine borers as well.
