Gotta know the secret hand shake.Apparently not at my house.
Finally starting to harvest some veggies from the garden besides the over abundance of lettuce. Had a nice zucchini and yellow squash which we grilled with the chicken and ribs yesterday. I just picked a bowl of yellow wax beans to sauté with tonights dinner.

I sent my son out to pick the other day and he came back with zero. I said what the hell. He said they are so good I ate all of them. I just laughed. He said you’re always telling me to eat better and eat more fruits and veggies.Oh and the red raspberries are beginning to Slowly ripen too.
there were a doz. in the bowl but my granddaughter couldn’t wait.

Whatchagonnado?actually we direct seed zucchini on plastic beds. The holes get made with a water wheel planter then the seeds are dropped and covered by hand. So spacing is only off if one doesn’t come up. ( average is 5 per row )
I will admit to my rows sometimes being wavy and I blame that on checking in on this forum when I should be making straight lines
Show off ! Haha just kidding. Looking good. I have a couple Of friends that have smaller farms and they report excellent crop growth this year too.

Just found two dead squash (or cucumber. Most likely squash) with dried bottom stalks.
We’re fine yesterday.
Opened them up expecting those grubs like last year. Nada.
Opened the stem and buried them in soil.
watered like a mofo.

We’ve been experimenting with trellising different veggies and this year we trellised spaghetti squash. Here one is two days ago.
And here it is today ! That sucker grew bigger in just two days. Decided to not push the envelope and harvested it for tomorrow’s dinner, along with a couple yellow squash.

Pop insect identification quiz.
Who's this fucker, and should I welcome him - or carpet bomb his ass? Half inch, maybe 3/4" long, looks like a big ass FDE ladybug.

I'm thinking related - but definitely bigger, and the pictures may not be great but that back is basically a flat, matte tan color with a couple of spots.
It's about the length of the end of my thumb (knuckle to tip).
