The extreme heat and drought have definitely affected my vegetable garden. I’m only now getting cherry tomatoes and a few cucumbers ready for harvest. They were amazing in my salad tonight.
What kind of peppers?
Same here! No tomatos ready yet still green it’s wild. Cucumbers are about ready to pick and beans. Every strawberry had bites out of it. Guessing the chipmunks are climbing the netting.
Ya know I can’t remember which one it is
Either hot banana or sweet banana. The chipmunks dug up some of my labels
Your veggies looks tasty
Imma harvest cat mint and dry it out for the cats in the next few days. So I can store it. I just keep harvesting and drying so I have plenty of the herbs and stuff for magick
My guys like the fresh too. I bring in cat nip flower heads for them to play with and eat but you’re right. I should do another harvest to dry too.
Mine like the fresh too. Just figured maybe it will save me money on catnip
Finally got to get in there and get the cucumbers. The wasps guard my garden making it hard for me to pick at times
At first, I thought these were bananas
they look amazing, Devenne! I’m so glad your garden is flourishing!
They look so tasty!
Look at all those cucumbers! I bet they’re gonna taste great!
Hahaha they do look like bananas. That’s what I want to grow too. Is a banana tree.
Thankyou so many cucumbers
Imma have to start giving them away. I swear one cucumber plant can provide for a whole neighborhood
they grow like crazy. It was so hot it took awhile to harvest anything this year. I got tomatoes growing but they are still all green
Oh yeah and I have been picking garden beans too
Fun fact - bananas don’t actually grow on trees! The banana is considered to be the largest herb in the world, and while it looks like a tree when it grows, it’s actually not. I had a banana plant in Florida but didn’t get any bananas before we moved. They also reproduce like aloe plants, creating what are called pups at the bottom of their stem that have to be removed and planted elsewhere.

Yeah I was very hesitant to write tree
I’m like that’s not right. It’s more like a bush right?
Imma def do it someday. I found a great video on how to grow them from a banana
That’s cool to know. I’ll be like my banana had pups guys lol
I can’t wait to see them whenever that happens!
Me too me too
Looks great! You need to get a beekeeper suit just to pick your vegetables!
Seriously!! It’s no lie. Unfortunately I researched wasps and they are important too. Ugh they are terrible and so aggressive that if they are near a plant u can’t get close without pissing it off
if I see them where i aim to pick I just wait a few hours to see if they are gone
they are good at unintentionally pollinating
Thankyou darling
I feel like I’d get along well with your chipmunks.
They are fun to watch. It’s even funnier seeing the cats react to them through the slider. I know the cats get bored so I throw the nuts right in front of the door. Free instant cat tv.
They are funny I catch them watching me sometimes
I was trying to pick lettuce and beans and I barely tapped the side of the box with my shoe and a wasp flew at me I ran up the deck and through the slider so fast. I don’t even think I touched more than one stair.
Damn wasps man… I got beans on the table out there. Escaped with my lettuce and my life lol
