Re: Monthly Avatar: September, Show Off Your Garden Harvest!
I was thinking maybe "Fall Colors" which could still include "Harvest". This is the one I want, but it isn't really either one. I don't even know what it's gonna be when it grows up.@sanderson wrote:My thought is to continue with the Harvest theme for October. In Nov we can have a winter garden theme?


Re: Monthly Avatar: September, Show Off Your Garden Harvest!
For (late) September I switched my avatar to my tomatoes. I had one to a few of most of the types I grew get together for a group photo:

For October I'll switch to my winter squash. Tetsukabuto, Burpee's Butterbush, and Trombocino (thanks, CC!) ...and a plastic beetle.

hm, I guess my sole tiny Delicata must still be in the garden. I didn't get any Hidatsa. My main garden doesn't really get the sun needed for squash, and I have conditions that favor powdery mildew... but I keep trying to grow them anyhow.
The butternuts were grown in an Earthtainer on my front porch, which gets more sun than the main garden, but the yield still could have been better. I planted the tomatoes in front of them, and the tomatoes got taller faster than the squash, shading them.

OMIGOSH, Beetles -- that's what a tromboncino looks like? If I get one of those, my family will still be laughing at me when Christmas rolls around. They already think I'm crazy for all the goofy things I try to grow. 

Re: Monthly Avatar: September, Show Off Your Garden Harvest!
Yep. It was high enough up on the trellis that it grew mostly straight - otherwise they curl. It did 'hit bottom' and I couldn't figure out how to elevate it without damaging the vine. I was terrified the voles were going to get it before it matured. Frost happened instead. It looked like it had gotten some damage from the frost (I think/hope the others are ok....) so I roasted it up after taking the photograph. It tastes bit like butternut squash, and I bet it would be tastier if it had actually matured and cured. Maybe next year.@countrynaturals wrote:OMIGOSH, Beetles -- that's what a tromboncino looks like? If I get one of those, my family will still be laughing at me when Christmas rolls around.

Delicata x4, they are over. One melon, true charentois, 2 more out there, also done flowering. Few red and green maters, tons of Ping Tung eggplant, pole and bush beans, tons of peppers in stages of red, all sweet. Not pictured, lettuces! They are in the fridge. One cuke! Indian Dance.

Never plant without a bucket of compost at your side.

YIKES, OG! That's a tomato jungle! There could be a secondhand lion lurking in there.

I know! I've been watching to make sure there is not a Python or something hiding in there!

I have them "confined" in 8' Texas Tomato Cages, and they all came out the top of the cages by a little over 2'. I am having to use a step ladder to pick the tomatoes now. And, to make it more difficult, I had to wrap bird netting around them because the Mockingbirds were eating the tomatoes as soon as they started turning red.
In this picture you can see the relative height of the tomatoes to the other raised bed vegetables. The bed on the right is all tomatoes.

I'm still laughing at how tall those tomatoes are... And those beans go on forever! This thread is hysterical.
Nicely done, folks.
