Tom<p>Whatever today was... Saturday's harvest. It's funny how the vegetables can hide even when they are brightly colored. I also picked a honeydew melon later.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/harvest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harvest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cucumbers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cucumbers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zucchini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zucchini</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Saturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Saturday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/August23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>August23</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Some of things picked in the garden since last Wednesday. The little melons are done now, some carrots big enough for more than a taste, enough tomatoes that made 3 quarts of sauce, some tomatillo that fall off everyday, another green-flesh honeydew melon that tasted a little sweeter than the last one, more beans, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/harvest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harvest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/melons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>melons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/carrots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>carrots</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a></p>
Tom<p>The harvest from the garden today. The first green-flesh honeydew (5 lbs. / 2.3 kg) was picked and it tastes good. It's sort of a watermelon textured hollow melon. I can't remember if they were this way last year. Picked another watermelon (10 lbs / 4.5 kg), more cantaloupes, 2 pails of tomatoes, a big handful of beans, 6 crookneck squash, and 2 too big zucchini.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/harvest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>harvest</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/melons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>melons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cantaloupe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cantaloupe</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HoneydewMelon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HoneydewMelon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RunnerBeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunnerBeans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watermelon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>watermelon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zucchini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zucchini</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a></p>

𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒑𝒆𝒓<p>My wife's butternut squash plant is massive! The dogs can barely avoid it when going out. I'd say it is 35-40 feet if stretched out and still growing. There's currently 6 good sized squash on it and 1 she already harvested. It apparently thrives in heat and humidity. 🥵 I'm just glad work is over for a couple of days.</p><p>Happy Friday everyone!

Colin Purrington<p>I've been testing a new way to protect zucchini from squash vine borers (Melittia curcurbitae). The larvae are already inside the vines because I can see frass coming out of holes, so I'm cutting off leaves at multiple locations, filling the hollow stumps with a Bacillus thuringiensis suspension, then using a thin rod to create a channel for the liquid to drip into the primary, sometimes hollow stem. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/zucchini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zucchini</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/bt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bt</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/caterpillar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>caterpillar</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moths</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>

Tom<p>There's lots of blooming and bees going on in the yellow squash, the tomatoes and tomatillo are taller than me, and the cucumber bed has no more beets.</p><p>The big leafy 'beets' had a big white root. Not sure what it is, maybe chard?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowYourOwn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/squash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>squash</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/YellowFlowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YellowFlowers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/marigolds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marigolds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/petunias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>petunias</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hollyhocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hollyhocks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tomatillo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tomatillo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beetroot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>beetroot</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/basil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>basil</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/runnerbeans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>runnerbeans</span></a></p>
