I'm noticing at night, a lack of chirping. Usually by now the drone of crickets is a reminder that summer is here. I don't mind the quiet so much as I do that I have a giant sized zucchini plant that has aborted a dozen or more shoots, and not for lack of male counterparts. No honey bees...

The following mystery vine took off this summer. Best I can guess based on where the seeds are, is that it might have ended up there passing though the digestive tract of a canadian goose as they frequently fly over towards a pond in the back 40. I mainly state that because I haven't seen any...

I've had one or more of these bugs around my plants and don't recall ever seeing one before this year. Didn't give it much thought until today for the umpteenth time in a row it landed in the same place and waited. Next it attacked a tiny bee trying to pollinate one of my plants. Bee got...

For the first time I tried to start some okra this year but haven't had any luck with it. I'm getting terrible germination rate, only 3 sprouts out of 40 or so seed made it above the dirt and all three were a pale yellow color including the first set of leaves, only to die a few days later...

I have a mystery hot pepper I'd overwintered in my garage, this is the one: http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=32627 Mostly I was interested in getting the remaining fruit on it ripened so I didn't trim it back at all. Usually in my growing zone plants would drop their leaves...

I bought a few seeds last year that were supposed to be Jamaican Chocolate Peppers. Most of them were, but I also ended up with a mystery pepper. At first glance the fruit looks a bit like Tabascos and the heat level is about the same, maybe a bit hotter, but the flavor isn't as sweet, very...

A small percentage of my Red Habaneros have had mold inside the fruit. Fluffy dark gray mold on the placenta around the seeds. Maybe 5% of the normal sized fruit do, or 50% of those which had stunted size (only a minority had stunted fruit growth per plant). It's been happening all season...

I have some Peony, blooms already came and gone, cut off now. Suddenly I am seeing piles of white flakes sitting on some of the leaves. The piles are about a teaspoon each and very fluffy like snow, but it doesn't look to me like a molding of the leaf, rather a deposit of something, by...

Hi all. I started several different kinds of hot peppers this spring, most of which are in same gardening soil (store bought), fertilized the same, same sun/water/rain/etc... sitting in pots next to each other. My white habanero and red habanero peppers have strange cracks in the leaves. It...
