Was out working in the garden today and found the first cucumbers ready for the picking!! We've got 2 - 8"ers so far!!! Very pleased

Had to tie up my tomato plants, braches were starting to sag and I didn't want them to SNAP! Hopefully I have remidied the issue.

Thanks Wolf and Tammy! It is so exciting to see everything growing so well. I am pretty sure that I am going to have far more cucumbers than my family can eat. I will most defintely be giving some away to extended family and friends! It's good to share, people seem to really enjoy it

You are all probably tired of hearing about my cukes....but....

We picked another 20 of them today for a total of 53 so far!!!! I am so happy with my cukes, makes up for all of the tomato's I have lost, sort of...

Any way, the family is lovin it and so are the extended family and friends because we can't eat them all

That's great naturallybeautiful, to have so many cukes to pick at one time!! I just picked my first this week and it was delicious!!! Only seem to have one right now, but there are lots of little cukes on the plants right now, hopefully they will all grow before the frost in another month!!! I possibly might have two ready within two weeks, plus the curly ones I have, have been growing this week so I might be picking them here in a couple of weeks too!!! Tammy P.S.- you could send those cukes my way, up here in AK, ha, ha!!!

Great going on your harvest, in less than three days I should have some more to harvest!!! Mine have just started poping up , even though the season is ending, but I am gonna milk it for all it's worth, and try to get as many as I can to!!! I have the same problem with my tomato plants, i have tomatos on it, and they are getting bigger and sagging down to so I had to tie them up to!!! Tammy
