I’ve gotten okra to flower! I’ve been trying to grow okra here for nearly 10 years. first time I’ve even gotten flowers.
these little melons are pretty cozy. it’s two vines tangled together.
the other edge of the melon patch appears to have a pumpkin or squash coming in. that’s ok I suppose. I can barely get in that patch at all anyway
plums are so close. I’ve picked a handful- sour ish, hard, green inside. I don’t care. I can’t wait. I’ll munch one every morning.
some of my smaller (!) tomatillos filling in. they’re landrace from a few varieties, every year I keep the bigger sweeter ones to replant. the fruits vary from purple through green. even one plant last year held yellow.
peppers are loaded all over the garden. I filled in every “empty” spot with a pepper this year. this patch has the big guys in it right now.
I’ve got no other fruits coming in but the inevitable slow trickle of tomatoes and herbs and summer squash.

That looks like a possible canary or Hami melon. If so you’re in for a treat.

Anyone know what this is? Some type of native crab apple I think?
edit:
And this is some type of legume, maybe? I found a field of it growing, so I wasn’t sure if it was part of a cover crop?

If it is I’d love a scion or two. That’s beautiful and I’d love to see what kind of crispness it could add to my cider.
Second one might be Indian “hemp” and called that because of fibers that can be used. Not sure.

Candy roaster? Or banana squash? If it is it looks green instead of the pink. Beautiful.

Blackberries have never stopped since June. These are growing off last years canes I pruned this spring.

My Alano sapodilla is putting out new flush of growth. I’d like to know at what temps should I take it inside the house and put it under lights. Is it sensitive to somewhat drier environment inside the house?

I don’t take mine in until January but our nights are still 80s now. The greenhouse routinely gets into the mid 30s tho and mine never minded that, however daytime temps get warm. I do think they prefer humidity like most tropical and subtropicals

Giant Armenian cucumber, Juliet tomato, our first and only apple this year- suppose to be a Gala but pretty sure it’s a Granny Smith…

There is something very ASMR triggering in the clacking of hazelnuts while picking and sorting. I’ll have to set up a timer every time I start filling my pockets when I take a walk through the food forest.
