Keep repenting as we all sin daily....for example "thou shalt not kill" may not seem to apply to us, but aren't we damning the driver that just cut us off in traffic?



Anyway, garden plants such as squash and cucumbers aren't eternal. As they ripen they make internal chemcials that signal the plant to slow down, they've done their job. We try to stay ahead by picking frequently thus slowing down the auxin formation, but we can't keep the plants alive for ever.



As for the watermelon, each vine can, at best, produce one or two full size fruits. If you have more than that, remove the extras. It may be too late, they should have been removed as they first formed, but try anyway.



Any type of insect will slow the plants down; squash bug, vine borer, white fly. If you've had uninvited guests, well then be grateful for what you've already harvested.



As for the tomatoes....be patient. They may suddenly ripen at once. If frost threatens, you can pull the plants with the tomatoes attached, hang the plant upside down in the garage out of the frost and they will ripen. If they are trying to ripen, you can pick them, wrap in newspaper (individually) and store in warm area, they will ripen.



Are you sure the tomatoes aren't the smaller type, not bigger? I assume you are watching for insects, especially the ones that eat the leaves.....tomato hornworm for example.



If all else fails, you'll have some good green tomatoes for frying.
