How is your vege garden going atm?

Sounds fantastic RH!

I bought watermelon seedlings and planted them over 8 weeks ago. They have not grown at all! They havent died either so I have no idea what to do with them.

OUr neighbours planted watermelon seeds AFTER we planted our seedlings, and his are HUGE! I might be stealing his

Our corns have started forming on the sides of the stalks and our pumpkins are finally tiny bulbs!

Maybe the cucumbers were overripe? I know it sounds mad, but our zucchinis are quite small when they're ripe and if i leave them longer than that they go soft from the end. Is it all of them or just some? If its sun, you could put a bit of cardboard over or some shadecloth draped over. Don't know how they are growing but something like that should help - we did that for our tomatoes which were getting sunspots. If its fungus, try neem oil.
our garden is a bit wild at the moment. The punkin vine has taken over in one bed and the other one hasn't been replanted yet, has some nice herbs growing though. It just got so dry here and hot that I spent all day bucketing water from various places and ran out of time to garden. It has been raining a bit this week so maybe this weekend I'll get back into it. Love picking the veg, its the best!

My dog dug up all our potatoes trying to make himself a nice cool hole in the heat - I think they are all baked now

well ew have 3 cucumber plants, each with tiny ones on there, and one big one on each. Its rather fat, but not too long. No more than say 5 inches. And they all have been bleached in the same spot

Ours was going really well, heaps of tomatoes, chillies, spring onions but the hot weather has fried it...not much has survived. We've had 3 weeks of pretty much 35+.

Oh No wilow!! Most of our tomatoes are still ok...but the cucumber plants have totally died and the corn is looking brown.

We watered every single morning too!

we are trying to hang in there with the heat being in the 40's this week, and no sign of it dropping soon. I made some blow your top off tabasco style hot chilli sauce last night...too hot for me but hubby loves it lol. I was great to use our chillies, tomatoes and onions, I felt a bit like Jamie Oliver lol.
I think I have lost a heap of seeds that I planted about a week before the heat started to crank up, unless they have better scense then to try to grow just yet.
