Didn’t spot this one right away so it got away from me. They’re gherkins, I plan to make sweet pickles. Not with this monster though, we ate it fresh and it was delicious.

    What a byooty! Nice work. We had to skip growing any cucurbitae this year due to pests, we’re trying to break their tiny spirits.

        Thank you. It’s a strategic retreat.

      Vine borers? I bravely (stupidly) went for it again thos year and things seem to be growing pretty well so far. Fingers crossed! I am applying a liberal dose of insecticidal soap weekly this year.

        No, we had sap suckers, at least 2 kinds. Just brutal and they hide until sunset.

    Do we have a Mighty Harvest community over here on Lemmy?
