How do you shorten zucchini properly? Zuck? (that sounds like duck) Zook? Maybe, looks alien though. I’ll stick with zucc until I get a professional opinion. Anywho, I bring you: one tiny green pepper:
He needs eyes I think. 2 of the zucchinis are the size of a mini baseball bat I have, but thicker. They’re going to be full baseball bat size here soon…
Months ago, I started green peppers inside. I transplanted many outside and they survived but I planted them in a bad spot and while alive, they weren’t growing. Instead of completely giving up on them, I moved them yet again to a good spot (they were right next to the crookneck and would be completely buried right now if I hadn’t :lol ), mostly to see if they could withstand another move. They are still very small plants, but I found a teeny little green pepper on one
Notice: The weeds are taking over. Ignore them and don’t think too badly of me I’ve noticed a lot of bee life in the garden, and managed to get a couple photos of them helping me out…
And my lemon cucumbers:
The squash are doing excellent. The growth each day is amazing! “Prizewinner” pumpkin:
Zucchini:
Crookneck:
The corn (and my 2 year old carting a dragon around), which is almost as tall as I am:
We have some pumpkins, just from the hybrid “Prizewinner” plant. This little guy has the potential to grow to 900 lbs. Won’t that be a treat for the new owners of the house to deal with :eat
I didn’t know that pumpkin vines send down roots, I went to move the vine so I could water easier and it was stuck…
see the little bit coming down from the underside of the vine? I had no idea! The stuff I’m learning :love
The soaker hoses got completely nixed. This is my latest high tech invention and does a much better job of making happy plants:

Pictures soon, it was too dusky when I was out to get a good non-flash photo.
