Story as old as time: Planted a "bell pepper", something not a bell pepper came up. Help a girl figure out what it is?
Title pretty much says it all. In the spring I bought a seed mix labeled as a "carnival blend" of bell peppers. I knew I was getting into a blend of random seeds but this one was a pleasant surprise! I'm new to pepper gardening so my plant id is lacking and google lens searches had inconclusive results. Can someone help me id my pepper or is it too early to tell?

Cucumbers dying?
Can anyone tell me why my cucumbers turn yellow and then shrivel up and die? I water when I see soil is dry, so every day or sometimes in morning and evening.

Anyone else have more lettuce than they know what to do with right now? I'm eating 2 salads a day and still can't keep up with it.

2 years of trying to grow edamame...
I have gone through about 30 seeds. Only about 10 successful sprouts, of those- all look like this right now, browning, wimpy and barely any leaves. i have tried several different soils, fertilizer levels, watering levels, sun amounts etc. And none seem to be thriving... Could this be a genetics thing with the seeds I was trying or are they actually this difficult to grow?! Or do they stay this small for months and then grow massive after a while??

I've been enjoying the leaves of these "collard greens" for months; turns out, I think they're Brussels sprouts

Brown / orange orbs in garden?
Assuming maybe this is what Iv seen called “slow release fertilizer” all these popped up after a heavy rain storm. Just wanted to check if it’s normal and if I should rake them or leave them alone? Thanks!!
