It's a ball?, it's a globe? NO IT'S A WATERMELON THAT I ACTUALLY GREW

Although I only got one this year it's the first melon I've ever grown. (Long Island NY)

My first Aswad eggplant (and its glam photoshoot)

Every photo I see of this cultivar is super bizarre/awkward so I am trying to uphold the tradition. Anyways this is a big girl. It looks like I put a balloon in my fridge. Haven't tasted it yet but am thinking of doing a parmesan.

I know I'm being silly here but this was actually really important to me. It's an Iraqi variety, where my family is from. I bought these seeds specifically for my grandmother but she passed soon after I sowed them early this year. I think she would have really liked to see it. She wasn't used to seeing any veggies besides the standard ones at the store so I would show her unusual ones on my phone or from the farmers market, and it would blow her mind that they came in so many shapes and colors.

Everyone raves about traditional large dahlias, but look at this cute little border dahlia.

These little guys are perfect for planting in containers. In fact, they don't require much space. In a 6-inch pot, you can still get a 1 to 1.5 ft tall bushy plant with lots of blooms. And just like with the larger varieties, if you deadhead them consistently, you will keep getting new gorgeous blooms.

Most importantly, these dahlias also create little tubers that you can store over winter and divide and plant again after your last frost date, so they're a great (inexpensive) investment because you only need to acquire them once and you'll have dahlias for many years.

My first time planting a garden. Didn't have anyone to share these with. It's not much but I'm proud of it.

I have corn, tomatoes, peppers, and too many pumpkins.You'll probably notice that once everything was established and producing I sort of gave up on weeding 🤷‍♂️

Anyone else get emotional when seeing their old dahlias returning this year?

This is my 2nd year with dahlias.

This is the only dahlia that survived my winter-storage attempt.

It was my favorite last year.

I actually left this one potted — I just chopped it at the base and placed the whole pot in my dark unheated garage. The tubers remained nice and fresh in the dry soil. I did NOT water it during the winter, unlike my other overwintering plants that still needed to be watered.

I divided the tuber clump earlier this year and now I have multiple plants from my 1 survivor.

I didn't realize what it would feel like to see this dahlia again. It's overwhelming. It's honestly like seeing an old friend again.

So many beautiful colors 🌻
I had so many volunteer sunflowers this year thanks to the birds . I had to pluck so many otherwise none of my vegetables would have grown 😅 We went away for a week and the weeds are flourishing along side all of the beautiful sunflowers 🌻. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do 💛

I might have gone overboard…

…but I love it!

At present, I’ve got:

Watermelon (sugar baby)
Zucchini (black beauty)
Squash (yellow crook neck)
Sweet potato x 6
Cucumber (pickling)
Cucumber (bush snacking)
Tomato (cherry bush x2)
Tomato (queen of the night)
Tomato (better boy)
Tomato (purple- Norfolk hybrid)
Beans (bush x 2 (succession planting))
Beans (purple pole)
Strawberries x 2
Pepper (banana x 3)
Pepper (red bell)
Pepper (green bell)
Pepper (yellow bell)
Pepper (snacking red)

I’ve had some battles with spider mites and aphids, and I’ve also taken to patrolling with a badminton racket so I can whack the spotted lantern flies as soon as I see them.
They’re getting bad!

I’m currently watching my Queen of the Night tomato because some lower leaves are looking a little sad, so I’m trying to diagnose the problem before it gets worse. I planted it late, and at present got one budding tomato and several flowers so I don’t want to lose it.

This is my first time ever doing this so it’s been a lot of trial and error, but it’s been fun!
