that's the Asian Pear tree out back

 

[Mr. Krinkle]

i like to use coco coir and perlite for succulents...super airy and more difficult to overwater...terra cotta pots are the best too because of how breathable they are

 

[arrowpenny]

This is off one tree today, with 50% being discarded. There's still shitloads to be had.

The irony of this is I fuckin hate apples...

 

[arrowpenny]

I used to work in an apple orchard. I really hate apples now. Man it was so much work for little pay.

we had a huge mango tree in s fla and as much as i love mangos i didnt care for em much during those couple years.

yall mak8n me hingry going to get cereal and blueberrys. note to self... blue berries next year ish allah

 

[Mr. Krinkle]

there's 2 asian pear trees...i think you need to have 2 in order for them to fruit

and then they only fruit every other year....and then if it's not a great year, the squirrels get them all.....so it's not quite like being in apple orchard every year lol - so, no i never get sick of Asian Pears....i love em

 

[Mr. Krinkle]

that's some shishito peppers that i just plucked from that plant

all of my pepper plants stayed small this year but they got alotta peppas

 

[Mr. Krinkle]

that's some lipstick peppers - never grew em before


got them here:

Pepper Sweet, Lipstick

70 days. A delectable bright red pimento type pepper that performs exceptionally well in northern climates. These 4-inch-long pointed peppers have super sweet, thick flesh, making them ideal for both eating fresh and cooked. It is a widely adaptable variety that will produce plenty of fruit...

And the cantalope - anything to feed em and make a lot of fruit? Most flowers fall off.

How's everyone's gardens doing?

My yellow micro-courgette (zuchini) has gone insane. It's growing about 3 feet/1 metre a week atm, about 10 metres/33 feet long. It's only supposed to grow 2 feet (0.6m) wide and 3 feet/1 meter high in total lol! Can't complain though as I've already had about 30+ courgettes from it and it's throwing out new fruit like crazy.

Your cucumber seems fine mate?

As for your melon, it might have had a little too much nitrogen (the "leaf-growing" nutrient) and not enough phosphorus or potassium (the "fruit-growing" nutrients). This is something that often afflicts tomatoes and zucchini as well.

You can sometimes fix this by liberally watering with a high PK feed like tomorite, or you can make a DIY feed by crushing up loads of eggshells into a fine powder with a blender and mixing it into a big can of water along with a couple tablespoons epsom salts (magnesium) and watering the plant with it.

 

[Lil'LinaptkSix]

Thanks for the suggestions. Fuck a google they shit.
Will give it a try next year.

Ah, I see what you mean. It might just have been the weird weather this year. Or else maybe, like the melon, it needed a fruit-boosting feed. Though usually when the latter is the case, the fruits start to develop but then die. If it didn't fruit at all, it was probably just the general weather conditions that it wasn't too happy with.

Looks like a good feed I use mostly organic seaweed liquid, fish blood and bone, chicken waste, tomorite, and dig a good amount of manure in during early spring for the veg.
