I was about to like your post, Henless. Even the sunflowers sadly blowing down ... then, I got to that weather report of misery ..!
I'm one who doesn't like bread and butter pickles. But, I'm pleased that you are planning to have more cucumbers for the fall.
Even here, the spring-planted vines begin to play out before the fall frost. There are a few more planted in the onions right now. Room for them is just a matter of pulling the onions near the cucumbers, first. They won't have much of a season but should produce a few cukes. Fresh! About the time when they can be appreciated .

i like all sorts of different kinds of pickles or cucumbers.
there seem to be some varieties that will grow all season for us. the burpees we've had grow and produce from the end of June until frosts and they're huge if we don't get them picked at the size we like them. they do need enough water to keep them going. this year we are growing just the pickling ones which are smaller and as of yet they're still going. i'm almost afraid to look out there and see how many are ready to pick.
