I've just found my first fruit on my striped tomato and it's been blooming forever!!! I guess sometimes it takes a while.
How long can I expect my zuc and squashes to produce? How many fruit would be average off a healthy plant? I have one zuc that is almost dead and I am not sure if it's just it's time to die or if it's diseased. All the other plants are fine.

All I can recall right now is you should cut zuc (I'll never get used to calling them that!) regularly to keep them producing fruit. I'll look in my book later and see what it says.

Does courgette (or however you were spelling it) = zucchini?? THAT would explain a lot of what I was reading but not understanding! Is that one regional, I've never heard it before.

Tomatoes and potatoes fresh from the garden are so much better than store-bought ones.

Anything fresh from the garden is better than from shops...

Hey, anyone know how you can tell when potatoes are ready to harvest? I dug some up this week because I needed some, but many were still very small. The plants have all pretty much died, the green part of them above ground. Is that normal for potatoes?

I'm pretty clueless about potatoes. I've heard that you should dig them up after they've flowered and the plants have started to die, I've heard that you can dig them up a couple of weeks after they start to flower, I've heard that you shouldn't let them flower (so all the energy goes into the potato!
The potatoes may have been small due to other reasons than the plants dying off ~ not enough water, condition of the soil, etc.
Sorry I couldn't be more help ~ I'd have dug them up if the tops of mine were dying too though.

Thanks agapetos, I've never seen my potatoes ever flower, though I'm assuming they do. lol. Must be pretty insignificant looking flowers.

Sprouting potatoes in my fridge every spring is what convinced me to grow them in my garden.
That's how I got mine planted, too. Dh saw my sweet potatoes sprouting and insisted that I try them in the garden. He's great with the I have an idea for you to implement ideas!
Do sweet potatoes flower?

I think so. I love sweet potatoes, but don't have the space to grow 'em.
