What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

Anyone know what kind of squash this is?View attachment 133861

Overgrown yellow courgette, or perhaps a summer crookneck squash, but spaghetti squash has also sprung to mind.

It doesn't even look like any of the others! I'll cut it open later today.

Figured out what squashzilla is. Two and a half pounds of overgrown regular yellow squash. I didn't pick it since it had the ribs and didn't know what it would finish as.

Saving a few squashzilla seeds...

It looks ripe for stuffing to me.

Asparagus popped through. First of the season. Shirl planted out about 30 pea plants grown by me.
About 50 corn seeds planted some for us rest for our gardener and a mate.
Coriander looking healthy but not ready to be planted out yet.
When I say gardener he just does lawns and digs garden over for me.
Been having nice days so everything is growing well

That's a lot of squash and it's just me. I'll cut it into quarters and steam them most likely.

What's going on in my garden.
God knows. I've abandoned it for the past 3 weeks...

I know what mine is up to. NOTHING... It was 0°C this morning... the only thing my seedlings are doing is staying hidden. But there is 1 tree in bloom (a plum that never fruits but is always laden with flowers) and it was buzzing with life and bees at lunch time when it was all of 9°C.

Its due to get warmer in the next week.

If that were the temperature outside, that's what I'd be up to, too.

Wow - awesome crop.

I wish I had:
a) a garden
b) green fingers (or thumbs). I'm absolutely hopeless at growing things which I don't understand - all around here in Singapore there is lush vegetation growing like mad with seemingly little intervention. I think I've told the story of the $95 lemon tree I bought that bore one single lemon then died...

It took me a while. Some years are better than others. I used to get many cucumbers. The last two years I haven’t had any. I haven’t done anything different. Tomatoes always do well for whatever reason.

Mine is the same way. Nada for reasonable sized tomatoes last year, they averaged 3 or so ounces, and this year is great. Chili's always seem to do well.

I didn't get any chilis last year. I moved them to the other side of the garden this year and they did great

Yep, been there, done that.
I carefully nurtured 6 different varieties of chiles , in pots, and they grew wonderfully. Replanted them in my kitchen garden, and they're horrible, grungy and miserable.
If I grow them up the top, they do fine.
