So, my zucchini plants are finally fruiting, and they're weird. See?
Now, the zucchini that those seeds came from was definitely green. In fact, it was one of these zucchini, actually. But both zucchini plants are producing yellow fruit. I don't know if that's because of cross-pollination with either last year's neighboring yellow squash or the surprise squash that's growing this year, or just recessive genes from a hybrid zucchini. (I bought the seedlings from a farmer's market last year and I have no idea what variety they are.) I suppose I'd better look up zucchini biology to figure this out. Here's the other one:
Well, I'm OK with them looking weird (I think it's interesting, actually!) because what really matters is how they taste! ^_^
Some of the edamame is making a comeback amongst the very tired potatoes. Next weekend, I'm going to have to dig taters. I'm not so into digging taters. I should've thought of that before I planted them. :-/
The tomatoes are coming along. These are either the Ilini Gold or the Hungarian Italian Paste. Next year I should make little name tags for the tomatoes.
And these are ... some kind of pepper. *sheepish* Guess I'd better make name tags for the peppers next year, too! :P
I picked 2 cucumbers this morning. If you look carefully, you'll see that some of the cucumber vines are now taller than the trellis. :-/
The lollipop tomatoes still haven't ripened yet! I'm definitely keeping an eye on them. I hope the birds don't get to them before I can get the bird netting up.
