My first Sugar and Spice marigold grown from Baker Creek seeds. Tall and big blooms. Sure to attract pollinators!

Succession sowing. This is when you plant a fresh couple of rows of something every 2-3 weeks. These are my bush beans in various stages. I have been jamming small patches of them inbetween taller tomato plants. This way it should ensure a constant supply of beans all summer. The oldest plants will fade out but you will have a newer group producing right behind it. You can keep this going right into the fall as long as the weather cooperates (and you don’t run out of space). I have some growing in pots as well! Just make sure they are the bush variety. 🌱

Agreed! Your zucchini should not look like a club. Same for cucumbers and squash! Smaller is better!

Size Trap: Most Gardeners Pick Zucchini Way Too Late 🥒
- Zucchini left past 8 inches turn watery, seedy, and develop bitter skin compounds
- The growth rate in summer heat means a 6-inch squash becomes a 12-inch bat overnight
- Pick at 6 inches in the early morning when skin is firm and sugars are concentrated — the texture stays dense and nutty through cooking
