    Jelly of that cucumber. I only got 1 and 3 pumpkins this year thanks to squash bugs. They wrecked my cukes, pumpkins, and watermelons 😭

    Fantastic bounty! šŸ™Œ The tomatoes are so perfect.

    Not that it matters but are you naked in the picture? šŸ˜‚ No judgement, it’s the equinox today, a fine day for a skyclad harvest.

    IME, cherry tomatoes are prolific in both fruit and foliage and they get super heavy! I just cage mine and let them do their thing. Congrats on the haul!

    Edit: If you aren’t already schooled in removing suckers, I highly recommend it for cutting down on foliage without affecting production.

    Steel cornucopia !

    I have ‘grape’ tomato that look like little watermelons.
    …ANY solid advice for winterizing a tomato plant NorCal<-<-<- porfavor

    … old man passed last year and he decided to take all my 5gl pots, 25+ in all, and plant his bargain market plants in them last year AND they regrew from discarded fruit.

    I hated him for it.

    …the seeds landed in the same pot that I tried to recycle for another plant… pepper / rose / etc… for bamboo and willow even (they are aggreregret.

    The grape tomato regrew.

    Now I just want to get this tomato plant to next year alive because that’s him.

    Huh. Always thought shirtless man was more of a July harvest.

    How’d you harvest a human holding a bowl of food? What kind of fertilizer are you using?

    Telegraph improved cucumber? Looks similar to one of the varieties I grew this year!

    Yeah tomatoes get heavy. People started growing em vertically on poles because it’s easier to care for em that way but they’re actually low lying plants (if that’s a word, sorry im not english) They grow much like melons naturally. So yeah you gotta string em up šŸ™‚

    Oh the thrill of the first harvest! Congrats!!

    2) Pose

    Ok be gentle… are those snap peas in the middle? Why are they purple? I’m so curious! Nice haul though man!!

  16. Inkspot5814

    Such a great harvest! Enjoy!

    Tomato plants (at least for me) have needed some extra support as well. Not quite to the same extent, but I have certainly made large trellises/cages for mine to help keep them happy. I have found this also helps if we get windy weather. But if your plants are fruiting so heavily, then they must be very happy with their care.

  17. Cucumber seems pretty happy about the harvest too.

    quite an invasive species u’ve got there on the right with a distinctive messy stubble. is it new?

  19. FurryDrift

    Hope your growing shirts for the next pick

  20. tra_da_truf

    Awesome! We get 0 tomatoes here until after the first of September. Then it’s Tomatogeddon till the middle of October

    Do the same pic in a couple of years and let us see the gains.

    How are you guys still harvesting in winter ?

  23. Looks delicious! Just make sure you find and remove the worm in the left end of the cucumber, before serving it šŸ˜›
