My strawberries suck this year

I directly blame the rain

In all seriousity, at June 1st, I had 9 healthy edible strawberries. I had at least a couple dozen last year. Theyre usually so good, but now this just sucks. Anyone else having crop failure so far?

Agreed. Tomatoes suck balls.

My strawberries exploded this year!

None are ripe yet, but there has to be at least 200 of them.

I spent a lot of time pruning the rasberries last fall, they should have a good pay up this year.

Kids and their anti-veggies ways.... pssh.

Itd be all good, Joe, if you lived here in Cal.. you could just buy em of the vato on the corner!!

The texture of tomatoes make me gag. And the smell.

I have a lot of little greenies but they havent had enough sun to grow large enough so now theyre turning red while still being the size of cashews, plus the squirrels are going to town on them

I didn't get to do any strawberries this year. The rain kept me from getting my garden going until late. I hope I made my window for planting this year.

check out the gardening thread.

If you slice tomatoes and wash the seeds out they are much more edible and less squishy

i eat my tomatoes like apples, just put some sugar or salt n pepper on those and they're great! i think most people dont like veggies cause of some kind of fad or something...

Tomatoes aren't vegetables.... so no.

They're fruits.

No tomatoes. No strawberries. But I have an assload of feral pumpkins coming up in my backyard.

Threw them out back as usual after Halloween (into the nasty old oil-soaked dockside Brooklyn "soil" that got doused by 9/11 fallout and never cleaned) but this year they took. And sprouted. And they might even get enough of a foothold to survive the coming morning glory infestation.

So psyched. Nature rulz!

Our Lemon went nuts this year. We had dozens of them, it was sweet. But the Kumquat tree didn't do very well Which is a bummer because kumquats are delicious.
