Today I counted 12 cucumbers on my plant (yes, I only have 1 plant that's been blooming... the rest are a few weeks behind to rotate my harvest). I also have 6 silks on my corn stalks... many are just getting the tassels on top... I cheated by going out each day and shaking the stalks when the tassels come out. Can't count on the wind to do a good job when I'm only growing about 15 stalks total. My tomatoes are looking better, and rebounding from the blight. I got to harvest 3 Brandwine tomatoes today, and I could see what is a good 100-200 tomatoes on my remaining plants!!! :bun :bun :bun

:rose


If that's not enough I've got 3 canteloupes from a second planting that are now getting their first true leaves.... and I have flower buds on my watermelon plants!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :weee

It makes me so hungry out there. :D

Gotta love seeing all the new life appear form your hard work!!

I'm glad your tomatoes are getting better!!!

I have 6 or 7 cucumber plants but only 2 growing cucumbers - they are not doing well - I think I have crowded them with the sunflowers and beans a bit. :hide I'm learning a lot still.

Anyway... Hooray for your garden and how well it's doing despite some set backs that you've had!!! :celebrate
