Another vine now has fruit!

[secuono]

This is the one in the dog yard. Several gourds on it.
The one under the hutch had two huge pumpkins, one's bottom rotted and fell off...ugh. But the other one is now turning orange! It's at least a foot tall! I'll get a picture of it later.
The front yard pumpkin has at least 7 minis on it. There's two other vines there, but they are small, not sure what they are.
I transplanted a few out to the critter yard, they are also small, very small vines so far. Will update later with pics.

I'm still waiting for my cucumbers!!! Vine looks different than last year for them and they are still small...it's depressing. We love the pickles we make, a bit extra vinegary and far more crisp than any store pickles...

Ain't it cute??

 

[baymule]

Awwwww............it's so cute!!

 

[MontyJ]

What kind of gourds are they? Would also like to see the pumpkins!

 

[canesisters]

I just think that it's pretty cool that you have things volunteering all over the place!!
That is one cute little gourd! Ever find out what it is?

We bought a ton of randomly shaped, colored and sized Halloween pumpkins last year. Tried to keep most of the seeds, ended up getting moldy. Tossed the seeds out in the dog yard during winter, some we gave to the dogs, pigs, sheep and horses to mess with. None were too interested other than the pigs and the bulldog. Pasture seeds probably didn't sprout because the critters ate them as they showed up, lol. DH thought we would of had a whole acre of them, the LGD pup flung the chunks all over the place!

So, not sure what they really are called. We had a blue, white, giant orange, pie, mini desktop ones and then a few funky colored gourds and shakers. Could be anything..lol.

I'll go out and get pics of the others now!

Looks like there's two different kinds growing in the big patch in the dog yard.

Also have a pic of the small cucumber vines, any way to get them to grow quickly like the others? Would it be too late to plant more seeds of them?
Maybe it's something else...lol.
I'll organize them. At the very least, they will all be named..lol.
There's some I'm not sure what they are...it's all confusing.
Also pictured are the crazy tomato section from the old pic yard, there's some corn in there [hidden] and there used to be greens and other small veggies, but the weeds took over...

I've added fast acting lime about 2wks ago, still seeing some loss of fruit.

C1, big pumpkins, big vine, growing under a hutch where the pigs used to be. 2nd pic is spliced together, tree was in the way for a full picture. Last pic is of the only fruit, there is one tiny one that may survive, but it's in the early stages and not sure if end rot will get it.

Should I worry it's yellowed? These are little seeds of...not sure, in a pot that I then moved into the ground 2wks ago.
I've been spacing out the vines so they spread apart from each other and not over another.
Also had a pineapple in a pot I moved out. And some mint that hated being potted...

Pic is of the giant plant I've been talking about, 7ish mini table pumpkins on it, maybe they are pie pumpkins, idk. This thing is all over the place, huge mess, lol. Picture does it no justice.
2nd and 3rd pics are of the other pumpkins, not sure what they are. Sure is hard to mow with all these delicate plants!!

What is this??
This is what I thought was a cuke vine....no idea anymore what it could be. Three plants in the front yard.

Tiny vine in the dog yard, hallway area between house and fence, dogs run past all the time, cat sleeps behind it.
2nd and 3rd pics are in the expanded dog yard. I almost mowed it down.

These are also in the dog yard, there's two kinds, growing up and all over the place! This is where the stripped fruit pictured in the original post is from. The leaves also have sections of white in them, pretty neat.

Lastly, this is the old pig area. Tomato, lambsquarter & chicory forest, lol. There's plantain, ragweed and others in there, too...

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Sec! It's so cool what you have going.

Toss the yellowed vines some bone meal and water it in. Hard to tell what your mystery vine is with my eyes, but if the vine itself seems soft and its leaves have a gentle soft fuzziness then watermelon, but if the leaves have that tough scrapiness to them, then some kind of gourd. If neither, then it could be one of those Large gourds. Large gourds, many of them, make white flowers.

One of the reasons some of them may be late kicking their growth in is because really, squash don't transplant very well. It can be done of course but if their roots get messed with hardly at all they slow their growth for awhile.

If you think your punkins are getting blossom end rot, definitely amend your soil with lots of bone meal. Also reduce the conditions for rot.

I don't water them much and I don't know what 'conditions' need to be met to cause it. I've bought, tossed out and watered fast acting lime. Now just waiting to see what all these vines even are.

Had tons of rain when these were growing [the giant ones], on and off rain now. So I don't really water them unless we have two or more days of hot sun. And then I water where the roots are, not spraying the leaves.

I love over grown surprises!!!!

I think the one you thought was a cuke is a type of watermelon actually.

 

[secuono]

Duh, watermelon! lol, I'm so slow...
Do the vines grow slow for watermelons?
