What did you grow today???

All fruits, anything that grows on a tree or vine. :(
Then, I apologize for all the mocking of your physiological condition.

I started my day off in the green house and garden. Fantastic!!! 😁

We harvested our 1st zuke of the year today!!!

Back in May, I'd purchased a zucchini seedling from Walmart. Transplanted into a 15gal grow bag, and it grew fast and was looking fantastic. Just as it started flowering and developing fruits, the older, larger leaves started to turn yellow then within 2 weeks, turned brown and die. New leaves coming in were nicely green, but ultimately suffered the same fate. It then stopped flowering, so I just chopped it.
I did research, but never did figure out the issue. It seems that it could have been anything: bacterial, fungal, deficiencies....🤷

I have 2 cukes and a zuke on my porch that both don't like how much sun they are getting. I plan to build a small shade trellis to keep them under.

Do you think your plants got too much sun?
All those hot days last week were brutal here!

How about fertilizer?
I try to keep the plants well fed and watered. I over watered some snapdragons. They didn't make it but ok so far otherwise.

I hope our plants continue to do well! 🤞

From the symptoms, it seems it could be anything: too little water, too much water, fertilizer deficiency, disease....🤷
The spot where my garden is, doesn't get full, direct sunlight until about 11:30am. I suppose it could have gotten too much sun. My other plants don't seem to be affected by the amount of sunlight the spot gets.
I water every evening, right around the time when the sun is just above the horizon. I give every planter a good soaking, perhaps a gallon per large planter.
As for fertilizer: all the planters were started with a mixture of coco coir, compost, perlite, and potting soil that includes slow release fertilizer. In the beginning, I would give fish emulsion fertilizer every 2 weeks. Since June, I switched to water soluble synthetic fertilizer. I’ve since added organic fertilizer pellets, as well.

Yeah, it sounds like you've got things dialed in well enough. If the rest of the plants are doing well, those should have done well too.

Just trying to do my best and putting all the information I'm picking up, to be successful.
Now, the challenge appears to be the onslaught of pests.

Pests ARE a constant challenge!

Mildew and that sort are another fun bunch to learn.

I think if I only lose a few plants during a seaon, I've done well.

There's a LOT to learn and SO MANY different approaches to gardening and maintenance!

Pair that with the number of soils and foods and ferts and containers and lights and and and... 🤯

Plus each year is different due to weather and temp variations during such a short growing season. New England has its own set of challenges.
