My sole tomato plant that I grew from seed is doing amazing, producing a ton of fruit. The two I bought from the nursery are kind of not. One is producing fruit about half the size it should be and the other has these weird brown burnt or rotting looking spots on the sides.

Woke up to the raspberry patch full of red berries. It always amazes me how they seem to pop overnight. Love raspberries so this is always exciting.

I love reading all the success stories!!

I was off to a good start with plenty of blueberries, cukes and beans. My tomatoes and peppers were starting to pop when I went on vacation at the beginning of July and I haven’t laid eyes on it since.
My vacation was interrupted when my father in law was hospitalized and we headed to western New York and don’t think I’ll be back home until late August.
My son drive a couple hours and harvested a 5 gallon bucket of peppers(Marconi, jalapeño and hot wax) and a bunch of tomatoes.
I had him pull everything except the peppers and hope for a strong second bloom for canning.
Keep sharing your stories so I can live vicariously.

My zucchini is producing, but the blossom ends aren't closing up - most of them look like this.

Anybody familiar with this? Never had it happen before, and I'm trying not to let them get 2 feet long waiting for the blossom to fall off.

Had some rabbit issues and got some liquid fence spray and low and behold they stopped nipping stuff. Didn't really think it would work, so pleasantly surprised.

Got a bunch of cucumbers today. Feels good to start getting some payoff.
