Been dead for a few days here. Pumpkins are putting on fruit. Also got squash bugs now. Hope they aren't too much a problem.

Bust out the pesticide yesterday. I lost 3 or 4 squash plants to them because I didn't realize how quickly they can get out of hand. I'm just picking what little trickles in. I get a burst with every rain, but that's been hard to come by the last week or so, and not looking promising going forward.

My watermelons and cantaloupes are driving us crazy. Pumpkins are turning, but still blooming also. I'll probably plant them earlier next year

I planted mine late June for an October harvest. Watermelons didn't do good at all so I mowed over them.

For the most part the garden has played out. About all that's still producing is the okra. I planted some late tomatoes but they haven't done as well as I would have liked. Recently horn worms slipped in and did quite a bit of damage before I caught em. My hopes for late tomatoes have been seriously put in doubt.
All in all most everything I planted did ok except for the peppers which I think was my worst year ever. Overall I believe this year has been just too hot and too wet.

Too hot and too dry here. The creek has quit flowing for the 4th time this summer, and not once before in my 3 previous summers here. It normally jumps the banks 3-4 times each summer, but has only done that once this year. No rain forecast this week, so the fish may be in trouble. The garden is sitting, waiting on rain to put out another burst of production.

we've had good rain here for a while but now it's getting dry. Been hand watering the pumpkins every couple days since they are putting on fruit.

My yield is not as good as last year, but still getting some of these. My butternut squash is doing really well, didn't expect it. I just used the seeds from the squash I bought from Kroger.

Very impressive, this late summer has to be helping but still, you have a great crop.

Plus, I see you have the correct old-fashioned and still great wood bushel basket.

And your Tomato cages are great. I will definitely copy.
 
I do till and hoe around every pretty regular. But I have not run a tiller in weeks. The key I think is to not water anything but your plants. I build up a mound to trap the water around the plants and only put water in there for each plant. We have not had rain in 8-10 weeks so the rest of the ground is so dry nothing will grow.

I need to take some new pictures lol. I bet some of the taller plants have grown another 14-20 inches taller. I don't know if I put the wrong fertilizer on them or what. They won't quit growing vines but don't really have all that many tomatoes to speak of. They are blooming like crazy and making little tomatoes but there are not many big enough to do much yet. The other rows are newer plants and not nearly as tall but they are producing all of the tomatoes right now that are getting ripe.

too much nitrogen. tomatoes and beans dont require the amount of nitrogen that say corn requires. tomatoes will put more energy into vine and leaf development than filling out fruit. same for beans. beans pull nitrogen out of the air and stores it in its roots. i usually use 5-10-10 or 10-10-10 sparingly for tomatoes and bean side dressing. dont use something like 36-0-0 urea on them, but can be used on final side dressing of sweet corn.

my step dad grew some tomatoes one time and fed them regular miracle grow once per week and they grew to almost 9ft, lots of blooms and little tomatoes.
 
I can't remember exactly what fertilizer I used but it was for tomatoes. I think a 10-10-10

Reapers loaded almost time to dig this plant up and bring it in for the winter.

Got a 3rd round of hornworms and it's bad! They are a lot of this reaper plant. The other peppers out in the main garden are fine, but I'm not going to save any of those because the main garden had some issues with southern blight this summer.
