I planted the seeds in mounds on the ground and put tomato cage over each mound (three plants each/two mounds) - they're climbing up everything - the fence, and the tomato cages, even over the cages with tomatoes!Your spaghetti squash does OK hanging from baskets?

I use an angled piece of hog panel for my cucumbers to grow on in a raised bed, otherwise the vines go everywhere.I planted the seeds in mounds on the ground and put tomato cage over each mound (three plants each/two mounds) - they're climbing up everything - the fence, and the tomato cages, even over the cages with tomatoes!
I'm leading one vine to the hog wire arch over the fish pond to see what it does.
Yup, they sure do. Next year, in the new garden spot, I'm going to plant the spaghetti squash next to another hog wire archI use an angled piece of hog panel for my cucumbers to grow on in a raised bed, otherwise the vines go everywhere.
Not sure about the yield thing. I do like to pick wax beans when they are a nice gold color.Picked a mess of yellow beans just now.
Some "expert" on facebook said picking beans too soon will diminish the yield - is this true?
I always thought just the opposite - picking stimulated more production.

Early harvest is sometimes referred to as "cropping" allows the plant to focus on the remaining fruit.Picked a mess of yellow beans just now.

Seeds are from female plants like Mary Washington. Thick stems/spear sound male, but maybe your father garden is full of sh!t, I mean Compost.Not sure? From a patch my parents started before I was born, an heirloom? It has huge thick spears the size of your thumb but still tender at picking size.
I had good germination even though the seeds were two years old. I'll plant most of the remaining ones to see if they still germinate. I saved new seeds from this fall.
Picture of some of the stalks this fall with red seeds/berries. The other "weed" in the picture is a mint plant that shares some of the space with the asparagus. Not a great picture but was just trying to show the berries.View attachment 1141391
Man. you've got the green thumbs when it comes to tomatoes!!View attachment 1186471
Tomatoes are really coming on, gonna have to start canning soon.
Oh no!garden here not doin so great this year either. Too hot/dry for the plants.
I figured it out - they weren't getting enough sun.Why aren't my tomatoes turning red?
The plants look very good, nice color and size, no insect damage, plenty of green tomatoes in various sizes.
I picked one this morning that was pinkish in color, but one side was split and there was what looked like a worm hole.
I put it in the tad tank to see if they would eat it.
