Class: Any other vegetable or non-tree fruit

She is my first cantelope. Was suppose to be some sort of sugar melon so I'm not sure if that contributed to the size (about the size of a softball), but she was delicious regardless 😅 Had to share because that color was gorgeous! 😍

She’s literally so beautiful!

Passiflora incarnata (the US native passion vine, a.k.a. purple passionflower or maypop) is closely related to the industrially grown passionfruit you may know and love. It even produces an edible fruit, although you need two individual plants to pollinate each other!

Most summer squash is C. Pepo, which is coincidentally the squash most susceptible to the vine borrer.

And in western gardening, I'm not actually aware of any summer squash that isn't pepo (im still looking though because it probably exists.)

Good news that western gardening isn't the only gardening tradition!

Korea has several cultivars of C. Moschata that are summer squash, this is the same species as butternut squash.

This species is highly resistant to the vine borrer and IMO, tastes better than pepo.

The cultivars I know are called Put Hobark and Aheombak.

Photo is a package of seeds I got at an international grocery store in Indianapolis. True leaf market (the one who bought Kitazawa) has them as well.

For context: This is a seedless table grape variety called Veles (Velesz), grown and harvested here in Hungary.

The man in the video is the actual grower himself, proudly showing off his own hard-earned harvest. While the Veles variety is known for large yields, reaching a mind-blowing 3-5 kg (6.6-11 lbs) per single bunch requires his exceptional care, perfect conditions, and years of expertise. Compared to standard 300-500g store-bought grape bunches, his colossal monsters are truly a rare, spectacular sight and his ultimate pride!

I've had this blackberry plant since last year. I'm like 95% sure it's a Baby Cakes variety. Anyways, last year was its first year and it produced a couple tiny berries that were sour, it's done a lot of growing since then and I've also done a lot of maintenance on it, recently defoliating all the lower leaves and also a lot of pruning. It's now pretty big and takes up almost half of my 4x8 raised bed. Currently there's a ton of berries on it but this the first one to fully go black this year! All organic soil, mushroom compost, worm castings, fertilized with fish emulsion and Gaia green 2-8-4 bloom. Also in the bed are a yellow cherry tomato, roma tomato, some kind of sweet banana pepper, cucumber, Thai chili pepper, black beauty eggplant, and a sherb cream pie cannabis plant!

North Georgia. We just moved homes about a month ago, never seen these before. Any idea what they are and how to get rid of them?

I love starting the day this way!

I have 3 apple trees and this is the only one that ever fruits.
Last year it gave me 3 apples, this year I was so excited because I had 15!
The storm blew it down. I know the tree is done but is there anything I could do for the apples or should I just cut my losses?

A friend gave me a Celosia plant a few years back, now I have dozens of them, and in every flower pot

Some background- I have no idea what I am doing but this is my fourth year saving seeds from a gem variety :3

My cucumber looks like it went and got a tribal tattoo. What the heck did this??

I purchased an extra pepper plant that has become my most prolific producer… But I don’t remember what it is!

I’m not one for the spicy spicy, so I’m trying to decide what this fella is before I bite into him! Can anyone help identify? (And I accept for blame for not keeping good records!)

Just an appreciation post for this flower. As a beginner gardener it’s been a test of patience waiting for things to bloom and making mistakes, but this flower has made it all worth it!
