Wow!!! looks good enough to eat!!

YOU SURE ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. I CAN TASTE THE ONION,TOMATO AND CUCUMBER SALAD!

Did you say tomato, cucumber and "green" onion salad?

Dang, what are you doing right? sumala-Will you have your cukes call my cukes? My plant is large with tons of flowers and just like my gourds last fall, narry a fruit...just flowers! I have lots of bees too. Any suggestions on getting them to fruit? I have zukes coming up in the same spot, so far, just flowers also, but they are much smaller.

Nice Veggies!!!!
Have any of you tried Kraft Greek dressing and marinade on the afore mentioned salad. I'm addicted.

sumala, you are one awesome gardener.

I usually use an oil and apple cider vinegar on our salad.Have been learning and using my herbs also. I usually use big onions but green may work.

My fav cucumber salad is cukes, sour cream with a splash of balsamic or cider vinegar, sweet onions and salt n pepper. YUM-O!

sumala do you live by a nuclear plant?
I will never forget the sugar cane and the pineapples. What will be next?

Nice, you guys are making me hungry. I've never heard of that salad, but it's on the menu now! LOL

Yum! I didn't get my garden going soon enough for tomatoes this year, but hopefully, I'll have some okra and eggplant.

You may be onto something Felix. There is a nuclear plant about 10-15 miles away. Some of my neighbors have suggested my house is built on a toxic waste dump.

Something cool. There is another tomato plant right beside the one pictured. It has also produced some very nice maters. The cool part is both of them are from suckers that I cut from a third plant. The third (first) plant reached peak production and started declining about the same time the other 2 were just getting started. I thought it was a neat trick. I got 3 plants for the price of one, almost trippled the harvest and extended the producing season.

Keep trying Cindy. My plants fail to produce female flowers sometimes too. I usually blame it on weather or too much nitrogen.

sumala,
i recently learned that trick, too. i have a bunch of suckers rooted, in the shade, ready to trot them out as the parent plant declines or gets too bug infested. it's been a great trick, since i planted some experimental tomatoes that have not produced well. i just ripped them out, and stick in a tried-and-true plant from suckers.

i wonder if pepper plants root as easily?

btw, goose creek has really wowed me this year. tasty, early, and not a bit of disease or stress...

I have never tried to root a pepper plant cutting. They seem to have the same hollow structure characteristics but the peppers are woodier and lack the hairs that tomatoes convert to roots so rapidly. Might work but nimby so far.

I haven't been able to root a pepper cutting. But the plants generally make it through the two stress seasons and fruit again in spring and fall. They do wear out after a couple years and need to be re-started from seed. Maybe nematodes?
Or an eggplant either. They're an annual for me. They do great in summer in rich soil with regular watering.
Tomato cuttings root easily. But summer's too harsh here for them (or me) to keep them growing. Some wilder tiny ones do sprout up on their own and give me a little taste of tomato throughout the summer. I am grateful.

But I've never been able to grow cucumbers successfully.
My hat's off to you Sumala.
