Does anyone happen to know what plant this is? It popped up it my untamed garden area also known as my weed garden.

Is this reddening or am I too excited??

Was lucky enough to get this amazing garden when we bought the house, can't get enough of it.

This year it's total tomato overkill in my garden - 75 plants in the greenhouse, 120 outside. 10+ cultivars

And how do I keep my ripe tomatoes fresh so as to not use them and wait for the others to ripen for a bigger harvest?

Didn't have anything to cover it from pests. Apparently from what I've read, I can try to plant a new batch of Bokchoy from seedlings in late summer? Hopefully that works. I've also got some tatsois that I've been regularly checking for pests morning and night, no row cover, got some few holes but not as much as these. Is it necessary to check everyday for pests or any other day? Thank you for your help in advance

I have this issue with several plants on my balcony. I don't see any bugs on the outside. What could this be?

I strung it up and it's curing in my basement. It is very strong at the moment. I wasn't expecting it to be so..aromatic! Lol. I believe it'll be very good.

I thought these were aphids the other day and finally decided to do an image search. I clipped some leaves that had eggs and newly hatched larvae, threw that specific zucchini away, and squished a bunch more. I also used some dead bug brew.

Planted this in early June. Not from seed, got it at home depot. It has grown a few more stalks and leaves, but it isn't spreading out like usual. This is a new spot for it. Other stuff has had trouble growing in this dirt, so I dug out a bigger hole and put some soil from my main garden in it.

The sunflower stalks you can see in the image are to it's east. So it should be getting plenty of sun. Watered every morning, same as my main garden, Soil moisture meter says its moist in the evening.

Last week I sprinkled some 4-6-5 on the soil around it and watered that in. Ph meter says 6. No change.

My other boston pickle cucumber in the main garden has taken over it's space and will need trimming soon. So I feel like this one should be spreading more. It also doesn't look as green as I think it should. Is there some kind of fertilizer I should be adding to help it out?

Patty Pan Squash and peas. The squash came up so fast!

That yellow bulb is the remnants of the large flower I had. Am I correct in assuming that is the fruit? It's a slow grower if it is.

It's in water, but it's still gardening! One of my hardy lilies has put up a gorgeous flower. I love seeing it open in the morning and close at night.

Love the colour on these things.

I've ordered some creeping thyme seeds because that attracts tachinid flies to help control them but was wondering if there are other plants that are both good for the cherry tree while also combating japanese beetles?

The third scion finally established itself and put out leaves, but not before the first two were well ahead of it. I may need to prune back the other two a bit in the winter to give the late one a chance. Something also ate a lot of the leaves off of the scions not long after they were established, but they seem to have recovered.

I didn't plant it. I did water it last year when it was just a few random leaves though
