I was outside today and I wanted to pick most of my vegetables and fruits, but instead I just picked up many cherry tomatoes that had fell to the ground. Yesterday it rained and with it lots of wind which knocked down and few plants and many cherry tomatoes. I will go outside tomorrow and pick all the rest of the fruits and vegetables that are ripe.
I have eggplants that are beginning to grow this season and it will probably take them some time to grow to full size. They usually mature late in the season as compared to other plants. They are similar to melons and take quite a while to produce fruit, but when they do they get bigger each day. I will document them from the beginning until I harvest them.
Next on the list is corn. I wanted to let you know that the corn is going good and this goes for the stalks that have produced silks with ears of corn ready to mature. So far I have a few that are growing well and I will be harvesting them soon as long as the weather cooperates.
Pole beans are doing good and are continuing to grow flowers which is a great sign of more beans to come. Potassium is how you can get more flowers on your plants especially when it comes to beans. They need this nutrient in order to get all the flowers possible and reach its maximum potential yield.
Pumpkins are done for the season and I could probably pick them now if I wanted to, but I will wait as long as possible and pick them as close to October as I can. This is when I like to cut them open and take out the seeds and bake them in the oven.
I thought zucchini was done a month ago, but after I gave them some wood ash and manure they have started getting newer leaves and more vegetables. They are not done yet and I think I will be getting many more as long as I keep feeding them what they need.
