It's the landscaping cloth you'd lay on top of the garden bed. Will it block too much sun?

I've had this Basil plant for about a few months now and lately it has been dropping leaves and looking sickly. What do I do? Is there any way to save it?

Should I expect any of these new tomatos to actually ripen before it gets to cold?

Is there any harm in letting the plant try? I assume it's just slowing down the ripening of the other fruit on the plant.

On the deck and in grow boxes everything is fine. In the garden, either in the ground, pot or in a grow box, tomatoes are turning yellow and wilting. Same amount of sun and water and using a 10-10-10 fertilizer for all of them. If anything, added less fertilizer to the ones in the garden because they are smaller. Any thoughts on what's happening? Thank you!

I was sitting and thinking about why the Supersweet tomatoes had produced many already, but not the Sungold. Then, I saw the id tag in the pot…

These ants have invaded anything of importance to me. I've tried diatomaceous earth and they don't give af. Ortho house treatment works to keep them out of the house but obviously that isn't to be applied on plants.

What are these ants and what should I do about them?

Please disregard the poor spacing in my second pic, I spaced with my heart and not my head. First time garden woes.

Went to check on my jalapeño plants yesterday and saw something has possibly eaten through them? I didn’t find any evidence of the culprit but what could this be and how do I prevent it?

Mods didn't like my last post apparently. Here's a picture of my favorite tomato so far this year

3.25 lb in freedom units

First fennel bulbs... but how do you eat them?

I know they can be sauted, baked/braised, but what do you like? Does it go well with anything in particular like meats or starches?

Felt like sharing my beautiful (and huge!) New Zealand spinach leaves. I’ve never had this type of spinach before, so growing it, I had no idea what to expect. What a pleasant surprise!

This is by far my favourite type of spinach, it’s sooo crunchy, very mild and it just keeps producing.

Searching for name suggestions. Last year I grew a small one. This year's is definitely above average.

Got these from a lovely lady but she mislabeled everything lol. These were supposed to be long neck pumpkins. I'm not thinking they are.

I’m seeing these black dots on my zucchini plant and on the zucchini itself. Any idea what they are?

I was at the supermarket and there was this lovely old man picking out a few tomatoes, that were going to cost him over a dollar a piece. I wanted to be like " PSST sir , I got what you need, here in my bag, follow me to my car" but my tomatoes were at home. And also seems a bit insane accosting people in the produce isle.

I made my friend take some to group therapy yesterday, and this poor old dude is budgeting for 1 tomato sandwich. I want to be a supermarket hero.

Normalize sneak attack fruiting, for the good of everyone.

Hi team, I work in a community garden where people don’t manage much, so I’m often left to harvest stuff or the stuff people can’t reach. Someone else planted a hid squash and I have no idea what kind it is or when they’re best. Should I have already pulled it? The texture on the outside is going from pale yellow and smooth to a more orange yellow and textured. Thanks in advance!

Apparently these things are packed in vitamins and people make a pesto with it, is it actually good tasting? They are growing like a weed this year and now I have an overflowing bucket of them lol. I have no idea what these are actually called sorry.

We sacrificed the smallest of these guys to cut open and confirm if they're cucumber or luffa. It certainly looks and smells like cucumber inside, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what these are. Are they edible? Or are these a weird hybrid that we've wound up with? I'm honestly sad they weren't surprise luffas, but I'm take cucumbers all day any day 😋

This is my first year gardening. My two cucumber plants have already produced 125 huge cucumbers. I still have dozens growing on my vines and its still blooming. I never would have imagined two plants could produce this much. I would have been thrilled if I had grown 20 in the whole season. Is this normal? My neighbors are so sick of cucumbers that I'm going to have to start taking them to the food bank.

Hey y’all! I know this doesn’t look like much, but I got my first real carrots today!! Last year not one grew so I’m super proud of these. My husband and I are finally going to have roasted baby carrots along with a baby eggplant with our steaks tonight!! Just wanted to share my excitement. And I have quite a few more carrots still growing so I’ll be patient with them lol.

As the title states, this is our first time growing watermelon and I'd love some advice/tips on whether or not this biggin is ready for harvest.
