Keep up the great work, you never know where it will lead you to. Love the beautiful surprise pumpkin, and I hope it brings lots of fruit for you to enjoy.
Here's the thing... YOUR SOIL IS TRASH!!!! The fact that you've got anything to grow is impressive. Keep working at it - you've got some good things going.... it's already 10 times better than last year.
How beautiful your garden is! It has being growing!! Papa has a mystery hot pepper this year! A long green one is growing in his jalapenos! he tried one last night and it is really hot!! Love eeing yours!!
Your garden looks great and shows all of the work that you put into it. Although I am way older than you 😁 I only started gardening 4 years ago. The first couple of years I was frustrated. My plants looked great but they just didn't produce the amount of food that they should have (not even close!). The third year things started looking a little better. I had perfected some of my skills and enriched my soil every year like you are doing. I started feeling more optimistic. This year, my 4th year, my garden is looking great and is FINALLY producing like I always heard that it could. Keep going, you are doing amazing! 🌱 🍓 🍅 🫑
Try making refrigerator pickles with those cucumbers. I slice them into rounds and add some sliced onions . I add white or cider vinegar and a little water. More vinegar than water and you can use straight vinegar. I add a tablespoon of sugar, some pickling spice and salt. Let sit for a couple of hours at least but they last about a week in the refrigerator . Usually are all eaten before a week is ever up though. I also pick my cucumbers smaller unless they get away from me. And here in California I have to succession plant cucumbers because the vines "peter out " rather quickly in our heat. I love your videos. Your new garden beds are going to be wonderful.
Wow you are the first person I have seen (besides myself) who gets mystery peppers! I start all of my own plants and last year my rainbow bell pepper seeds grew ornamental bell pepper plants! This year I bought new Rainbow Bell Pepper seeds from a different supplier - different brand - and this year I got hot peppers! I am so disappointed. We only like sweet peppers in my house so when the plants show themselves to be making hot peppers, I pull the plant and put in compost. I cant waste the water and fertilizer on growing what we will not eat. I don't know what is going on with pepper plants. I had decided next year I will buy pepper plant starts rather than seeds....but i am thinking that you bought pepper plants right?
Oh no! That's frustrating. My Dad actually started my pepper plants from seed over winter. We started several hundred in our kitchen to sell in the nursery. I kept a few to plant. That's one reason I'm baffled about what they're doing.
Chloe, your doing good!! On the tomatoes, if you plant Basil next to your tomatoes, you won't have tomato horn worms... When it gets hotter, cucumbers get bitter! Over about 85°- 87° they will start to bet yuck... Blessings ❤
You are doing a great job, love how much enthusiasm you have for your garden. Maybe using some Garden Tone fertilizer when you plant would help them receive some extra nutrients. Keep up the good work!!

I may have to try this. Thank you so much!

@@savvydaughter7368 That's really interesting. Did you ask your Dad what he thinks is going on? I am seriously stumped.
Oh I add dill if I have it but I often don"t.

That may be my problem. It's about 95-97 degrees regularly right now. Thanks for the basil tip. Have a great week!

That is not a bad idea. I haven't used any fertilizer last year or this year. I may need to learn about how to use it. Have a great week!
work on your soil life and things will grow better.. have fun
