Some Black Trifele from the greenhouse. Largest of which is 5oz.

More on a vine outside but way off from ripening.

So, one thing I am noticing is the numbers of bees being attracted to the remaining vines. This wasn't the case earlier in the season and from memory I don't remember seeing any bees on them as they favoured other plants in the garden. I wonder how if in desperation with depletion of choice they are taking what is available. Don't get me wrong, it's good to see, and with the vines that are left if they did cross it might be interesting.

So, think I need to be careful on selection for seeds as I am not bagging these late ones, and make sure these are labelled separately and appropriately.

Bee and wasp hive population increases dramatically as the season goes on. For this reason I try not to save seed from any tomatoes that have been pollinated after the 4th of July. Of course it doesn't always work but I try.

A lot of plants seem to have flowered earlier than usual this year. Some plants which would usually still be in flower now have finished. Though even in summer there would be the occasional bumblebee foraging on tomatoes even with lots of other more bee friendly flowers available.

Sedum and asters are very popular with honeybees at the moment. The bumbles are more interested in anise hyssop, comfrey, Japanese anemone and phacelia. Rudbeckia and heleniums seem good for both. The 'mignon' single-flowered dahlias are still romping away and the bumbles like to pay them a visit too.

@Growing Coastal they had a big knockback earlier in the season, but with persistence some have pulled through very well. Some, however, did not. The weather though will be everything, just hoping for a few more weeks ...

Those plants look great and the fruits are gorgeous. I so hope that the weather holds out for them all to ripen for you. It sure would be a shame if they have to ripen indoors.

Okies, so I've checked and double checked records and the unknown one above is according to records an orange minsk, which I thought was a yellow beefsteak. Now trawling through some previous discussion forums I see mention of an orange minsk heart shape. So I wonder......

I hope they ripen as they do look good.

Beautiful plants! Mine are completely done and gone for the year except some new micros that are 3" tall now. They'll be fall/winter cherries.

@Zenbaas hi, I found it was quite sweet, rich even with a bit of acid. It was tasty but, I found the skin a little tough and it had quite a largish core that I had to remove, perhaps I sliced it wrong. It took a long time to ripen and mine were about 5 oz. Max. These were done in the greenhouse, I have some outside , and it will be interesting to see if there is a difference.

How NOT to grow an exhibition carrot

#219

Post: # 54146Unread post Amateurinawe
Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:21 am

So, all full of expectation, I decided to try and grow an exhibition size carrot. I got some seed and some left over pipe. Yay, it grew.
IMG_20210919_170141_hdr_kindlephoto-20624200.jpg
Getting it out wasn't easy, I didn't want to break the giant carrot, so I used a hose on it to loosen the carrot.

With a hose, I loosened it up and shook the pipe and the carrot fell right onto the floor.....
IMG_20210919_170711_hdr_kindlephoto-20659646.jpg
....Only to be stolen by the new puppy as I was lining up the shot.

She has a taste for carrots, the only saving grace for me. Despite lots of fiberous roots, the carrot wasn't gonna win any exhibitions.
IMG_20210919_170727_hdr_kindlephoto-20682291.jpg
Ah well I still have some seed, back to the drawing board.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
