@Rennegade Is it the cultivar, or do you prefer to wait until they lighten/thicken? The kinds I've done are all that vertical-stem/short-node type - they stay fairly skinny and only go a bit yellow once seed is fiarly developed. Looks like these vine?

@collatz we were away for a week for 4th of July... came back and they were all huge. The yellow side is the side that was laying on the ground. Our squash garden is down in our bog.. it self waters so they get massive impressively fast.

@collatz @Rennegade i don't hate zucchini but i'm not a bgi deater of it, and the right number of plants for me would be like half of one, but i can't grow that many so id on't grow any, NOW CUCUMBERS, i can make tons of pickles from that so that's that.

@givenup @Rennegade Yeah I went from four to two, missed a few seasons, and next season I'd expect to do one. Both getting better at growing and preferences in this house have never helped. Love my straight8 cucumbers too, but for pan-frying I'll always want some zucchini & eggplant w/ dill.

@givenup @collatz they are so versatile. I just make a chocolate zucchini bread that tastes like chocolate cake. I can't even taste the zucchini which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your preference. It's delicious though and has less sugar then most cakes and is so moist.

@givenup @Rennegade If the weather is as they predict, this weekend should be a great catchup opportunity, get a second till, throw out some nitrogen fixers, and take my topsy-turvy-season's shot on keeping my seed potatoes & sweet potatoes going.

@givenup @Rennegade I've got virtually all of that 150lb-ish harvest from last season and amazingly most haven't gone bad, although they're all producing a couple slips even in the cool basement w/o any soil/moisture - I just have to grab a few of those starts and shove them in the ground to keep something available for next season's.

@collatz @givenup I haven't gotten potatoes down yet but would love to... our ground is too wet I think so I need to mound up a spot. We eat a bunch of potatoes and sweet potatoes though so that's definitely on my list to master.

@collatz @Rennegade either way i read those are less spicy, which i like the idea of, but the red ones i pickled also taste just fine not even actually spicy.

@givenup @Rennegade yeah traditional daikon have a sweetness esp. fresh, and much less of that brassica-spicy thing normally, although I'm sure they have spicier varieties.

@Rennegade @collatz i got pole beans climbing a piece of cattle fence i put up for them when they got tall, i also got a ton of bush beans that are green beans basicly, but they grow purple, and a big row of great northern beans planted that i'll absicly just let dry out on the vine and harvest for eatin' later, might get a few potatoes, and some more radishes and cabbages and carrots and beets i got romaine lettuce and butter head lettuce going tomatoes, and a canteloup vine that's doing well, i gave most all my stuff a sprinkling of pelletized 12-12-12 grass feed, that releases as it gets watered / rains.

It's late for broccoli. Early spring and early fall. Good luck with it, though. Let us know if it produces.

@mjdigspigs @Rennegade @givenup I've had the most difficulty with romanesco; started quite early, but it still hadn't head-ed by late-summer, and the one that did lacked that fibonacci-pattern. Guess it's a fall type lol.
