Re: What Have You Picked From Your Garden Today
So far, no pickle worms so maybe this worked. But I have had no cucumbers mature yet and we really love them with our tomatoes. Also, at least two groups of cucumbers are now showing signs of Downy Mildew which I get every year. This time I separated my cucumber plantings into 4 different beds but so far Downy MIldew has found two beds.sanderson wrote:Did the late planting work?yolos wrote: I planted my cucs later than normal trying to miss the pickle worm invasion that happens about now.

Re: What Have You Picked From Your Garden Today
I must have around 80 pounds of onions of all sizes ..some are a decent fist size and likely a few jars of 1inch & a quarter pickling onion sizes . Most are 2 to 3 inches in diameter .
We've almost got the first 3 inch dia brandy style tomato ripened ...things got almost stopped when we had the 40 oC heat some three weeks ago .. plant recovery appear to be well under way as there are now lots of 2 inch plus greenies on the vines.
Have been harvesting prickly cucumbers for three weeks ... yes they are very prickly but nice and firm not too watery . I get less indigestion probs with this type so will be using them next year .
Summer pointed Hispi cabbages have really come on so have the darn cabbage white butterfly caterpillars .

Culinary dried marrow fat peas were an emergency stand by , soaked them for thirty six hours in clean water , changes every 10 hrs or so then sown individually in a poked in hole then watered in three and a half weeks ago , they are just about to come into flower .. the slugs & snails chomped the earlyier sown ones one night when it chucked it down for 15 hrs. solid with very fine driven warm rain .
The asparagus is finished for the gardening year , now fed , watered and corralled in a hoop of water pipe on two support sticks till they flower then die off , then I'll cut them down to the ground and dress the bed in a clean new sterile weed free mulch . We are still getting some strawberries of the greenhouse tubbed plants but nothing like the last couple of years due to a crazy spring weather season . Carrots are also out of kilter .. we actually had to buy in carrots to make our coleslaw's for all summer .
This time last year we had 9 inch long x 2.5 inch diameter carrots galore Had to re-sow a lot of carrots that also cot eaten in the slug & snail fests which took place inspite of me using slug & snail controls .
Have had some pak choi for our stirfries and chines five veg style dishes ,till it suddenly broke into flowering mode for the second time after being cut down to a few leaves .
My single well rooted shop purchased celery " Stumpling " got eaten by slugs or snails before it could get established ..might be time for some more over the nest couple of weeks
Our rutabaga's ( swedes ) are easily ready for eating but I want them for winter so we might get some real whoppers if I can still use the misting sprays for 2 min twice a day to keep them growing slowly .

Ha ha cunning plan ...
I've a 7 litre " caterpillar spanner " to remove them using " Resolva bug " spray just before it got dark .
I swear there were hardly any there yesterday evening before dusk .
Hopefully tomorrow things will be rescuable , the late sown peas full lush green juicy leave and a few flowers were reduced to green netting & a few flowers in 24 hrs .

Last night I made Spiced Tomato Soup with 2 net quarts of washed and just cored and quartered tomatoes. I didn't peel per Ball instructions because the pureed soup will be frozen in portions and not safely canned.

Kind of like my Zucchini. It rained yesterday all day, so I didn't pick the Zucchini. Today there were two squash on the plants 10" long. Guess that'll teach me! Ha!
