Everything in my garden is producing right now. The melons did not do good this year but everything else did.
We've had a good year with our garden. We have a cherry tomato plant producing more than we can eat and the size of the plant is more equal to a small tree, never seen anything like it.
Some of our tom's are starting to get that weird end rot, not sure what's up with that, need to research it. In the mean time I told my wife we should cut back on watering them, seems like I remember reading one time that over watering can cause that.
But aside from that we have been real happy with production this year. Has been a banner year for cucumbers.
I have too many cucumbers. I give them away but still have too many.

Thanks for the tip. Probably not much I can do about a deficiency now, but make the correction for next year.
