Anyone else run a vegetable garden? Mine's going crazy this year

First time really committing to it and holy crap we're getting way more produce than expected. Tomatoes, zucchini, peppers are all producing like crazy. The zucchini especially, we're giving them away to neighbors because we can't keep up. Downside is the watering schedule is intense in this heat. Worth it though. Looking forward to fresh salsa and pasta sauce in a few weeks.

Dude same. We planted way too much zucchini and my neighbors are hiding when they see me coming. But the kids love picking fresh stuff for dinner so it's worth the oversupply.

What region are you in? Timing makes a huge difference on yields. But yeah the first year enthusiasm planting always leads to 'why did we grow so much' by July.

First year gardeners always get hit with the abundance reality. Next year you'll be planning better so you're not drowning in tomatoes by August. Or just embrace the salsa making season.
