What's going strong in your veggie garden? [View all]
I got soooo many cucumbers. I grew Lemon and Little Tyke this year. The Lemon plant is bonkers right now, covered in blooms and bees.
Two batches of pesto from only two basil plants, so that is going well. I also have a fabulous lemon basil, very delicate in flavor, that I will definitely grow again.
Eggplant. Too many eggplant. I pulled out a veggie garden container early in spring to grow some lettuce, just worked some fertilizer and lime into the top of last years soil and threw down some lettuce seeds. Low and behold, an eggplant had either overwintered or a fruit had dropped and seeded because I quickly had a huge eggplant growing. Late winter/early spring was very warm and I had the container against a south facing wall so it flourished! I also planted one I started from seed, so now I have so many eggplants. Sigh. I am working on liking them better...
I have a Zuchetta Rampicate growing (heirloom summer squash) out of a container on a vine that is literally 10 feet long. Knowing the plant grows rampant, I planted far away from the rest of the garden. It grew up the 5' support dropped over the top and is now going horizontal toward another state. So far only on squash, but it was two feet long. I hack bits off and add them to pasta and stir fry dishes everyday. Hopefully the next ones will be more moderate in size.
