Always listen to what your parents and teachers always told you, “never put off till tomorrow what you can do today”.
So true, today is the day. lol
I’m not sure later this evening I will go look for the name tags.Nice! In the second photo, is that Long White of Palermo? I love that variety, grow it every year, along with about 4-5 others. My fam loves zucchini. Zucchini pancakes!!! I could eat those every night
Here is my LW of P today, ready for picking.

Thanks. Looks similar to mine.
I have a question about the yellow squash, as I was digging through the straw to find the tag for the yellow squash I found 2 of them had blossom end rot. Is it the same reason as tomatoes or different? What does it need?
Pretty much the same reason as with tomatoes - calcium deficiency. I would make sure to give it a consistent watering going forward and the meantime, some calcium supplement.
With tomatoes I give tomato tone, does that work for zucchini? Water every day or what?
I also use TT but alternate it with some other fertilizers like Texas Tomato Food, chicken manure and Pro Mix liquid tomato fertilizer. TT has plenty of calcium, just make sure to water consistently. I grow mine in containers and they get watered daily or twice a day on very hot days and the soil is always moist. That said, it could also be the variety. I grow dozens of tomato varieties every season and treat all of them the same, but I’ve only seen BER on two - three varieties over the years that I’ve been growing them. No idea why they got it. Maybe they had root problems. Never seen it only zucchini though.
Despite of the really cool May, my tomatoes up here are doing really well.
I think these are on the verge of blushing.
Some haskaps started to ripen too. This one is called Indigo Gem. Others are still green. Not sure why this one decided to ripen so early, but I won't complain
Thanks. No, I did not bring any of my plants inside. They are in massive containers, that would be quite a task. No thank you
The first batch of tomatoes, some of which are shown in the pictures above, went out on May 4th, and the rest of my tomatoes and all other warm weather crops went out on May 13th. Tomatoes and peppers are usually very hardy in my experience. I only cover them with a frost blanket when we expect frost or temps below 6C, which we don't normally get after April 20 here. My cucumbers are growing, but not as fast as in prior years. We harvested maybe two dozen so far from 6 plants. I did lose a couple of melons, and two other melon varieties are looking very healthy. Eggplant are growing slowly too. But zucchini are on fire, don't seem to be held back by the cool weather. The only thing I did differently this year is I loosely covered my earlier tomato plants with a 6 mil greenhouse plastic to raise day temps a little. That seemed to help a lot, as my other tomato plants are just blooming or setting fruit.
This morning I feed the tomatoes and zucchini bone meal, chicken manure, tomato tone. While feeding the zucchini I found another tag for a different green zucchini. Here's the varietyNice!
