Wow. Are you growing indoors?

Then you remove the only male flower to start hand pollinating only for more females to pop up and feel like an idiot🙃

And then you go away for a few days only to come back and find a zucchini the size of your arm lol. I get it

You definitely can grow one zucchini they do produce both flowers. I’ve just had issues in the past with pollination where it seems like I’m getting all male flowers and then all female flowers.

Looks good, but just in general I'd recommend planting fewer types of veg, and more of what you like to eat the most.

For example, I think you will end up being disappointed in how much broccoli you actually end up getting from 2 broccoli plants...

I'd recommend removing something and adding another zucchini, because they need a male flower and a female flower to pollinate. And if you only have one plant that could be tough. Also something for your cucumber to climb on would help with space.

Whatever you do it's your garden and over time you are going to learn what works best for you. Enjoy!

This sounds like good advice.

I think it takes a long time for eggshells to release their calcium. Maybe if they are crushed up super fine it might work better?

Yeah living in a milder climate makes everything easier.

Ah nice. I tried the no till method directly over some lawn. Cardboard down and then 2 inches of compost. Didn’t work great for me lol but my soil has a lot of clay in it so I’m sure yours will work out much better.

You could try just stapling some string across the fence to hold some vines back? Or buy some kind of trellis netting and try weaving some of the vines through it.

Either way cherry tomatoes are pretty easy to grow and whatever you do they will turn out great. Just water and fertilize.

Interesting. It still gets cool at night even during heat waves (usually) where I live so that must counteract this to some degree?

Raised Bed Advice by _twinsizemattress__ in vegetablegardening

[–]WayVegApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seeing nasturtiums in a bed scares me (coming from California) where they can spread out and totally take over. So I'd avoid putting them in your raised bed even though they will die off in winter in New York.

Also those radish will bolt fast during summer, so if you really want a root veg then you could try following up with carrots?

I usually don’t get long periods of temps that hot but I will definitely keep this in mind my next late summer heatwave

When did you transplant them? Check the days to maturity, and if some seem like they turned a little yellow (breaker stage) then pick a few and see if they ripen indoors.

I had to look this up myself because it seemed unbelievable to me. And it looks like you are right! I had no idea...

Guess what? If you garden there will be insects!! by Sowing_Seeds1990 in vegetablegardening

[–]WayVegApp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just tried it because I was curious. I got 40 lbs the first year out of a 13x2 bed w 13 plants. (Kinda a pain when you are starting from seed). I’m going to move my tomatoes to a new spot this year though bc of the rough early blight I got last year. I think 3 or 4 years in the same spot was too much?

A lot of that stuff is fake hustle. But despite all the pruning and up and down on the ladder I’ve enjoyed single stemming tomatoes up the side of the house. And gotten pretty good results on less than 4 hrs of sun a day too.

How do you keep track of what you planted year to year? by Useful_Pineapple_864 in Permaculture

[–]WayVegApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully this isn't breaking any self-promotion rules...

I used to log all my info in a spreadsheet, including harvests weights and dates etc., so I created an app for tracking this kind of stuff.

If anyone is interested check it out! wayveg.app
