I think this could be broccoli. It looks a lot like a plant we ate the leaves off of all last year thinking it was kale, then around the end of the season a bunch of broccoli showed up. Neighbors (different ones) seem to think it is cabbage, just not the round kind.



This thing with the purple vein down the middle seems like it might be kale.

[Irving]

^^^ That's pretty cool.

So what does the hive mind say? Watermelon or pumpkin? I've convinced myself watermelon, but I brought the neighbor over to look in person and she is now convinced pumpkin. All of these pictures are off the same plant, maybe. It's hard to tell in that jungle. The difference in shade isn't me taking crappy photographs; it is accurate to how they actually look.

[Bailey Guns]

I'm gonna say that's definitely pumpkin. Maybe. I'm pretty sure. It's pumpkin. The leaves are a dead giveaway.

The plot thickens.

The plot thickens.

^^^ I see what you did there...

And are you sure your broccoli in post #83 isn't kohlrabi? is it more of a bulb than a stalk?

[Irving]

I've never even heard of that plant, so I have no idea.

My brother sent me this video. Turns out to be a few pretty cool projects in there.

Have a few pepper plants in the garden that don't seem to be doing anything. Noticed these the other day. I ate this one, wasn't spicy. Don't know what it is.


Got a couple U-turn zucchini as well.

had a great run of lettuce, till the heat made them go to seed early. Carrots are great, shallots, green & wax beans producing. Cuke's are so -so. Tomatoes are still green. Peppers, well they're there. Seems we had an issue with aphids, like lots of them. Some neem oil slowed them down but not out.
