“From my garden in the Maryland ex-urbs – an overhaul of cucumbers (47!) along with a few peppers and trombetta squash. Sadly, groundhogs like green tomatoes.”

“Not sure what this is but it was quite a surprise to find in our garden! (We moved in a few months ago and haven’t done anything to/with the yard yet.) Can anyone identify it or suggest when we should harvest it?

“My friends picked these massive cucumbers out of my garden in Mount Pleasant this week. I think they are a variety called “Armenian Giant”, and looks like they loved the rainy summer.”

Thanks to Jeff for sending from Brightwood Park:

“Our latest daily harvest included pole beans, tomatoes, lemon cucumbers, poblano peppers, and sweet banana peppers! We’ve got so many more pole beans and banana peppers on the way, I might have to set up shop at the farmers market…”

“Tomatoes are having a banner year in Glover Park! I can’t believe how much better they taste than Safeway’s. (RIP Whole Foods).

This plant was only 4 inches tall when we put it in our teeny tiny flower bed on June 1st. It now threatens to grow all the way to Wisconsin Avenue.”
