@secuono They are beautiful!! Standard Rex are impossible to find here! Everyone and their brother has minis! LOL We want to get some. Not sure WHEN we will be able to get some since we have to build another hutch and everything.

I thought cukes needed pollinators? Guess not....
Also, Peppers are starting to flower....
Oh, the madness!!

Wow Secuono, your cukes are really going to town!
Some plants are parthenocarpic, which means they don't need to be pollinated. Looks like that's the type of cukes you have.
Congratulations on such healthy looking seedlings.

Great looking plants @secuono ! It may seem like madness to you but sure is making my mouth water for a fresh cuke! And I hope your madness turns into your best garden ever!

Looks like the tomb thumb lettuce is done, sure does grow tiny! Rabbits will love them!
Ugh, when can I put them out in the ground? Still have 27F temps some days....Really want to plant them already!! Should I make a frame and cover with plastic for those cold nights or is the ground too cold, too??
Yesterday, I turned and weeded 4 beds.
5th one I added cardboard and evened out the rabbit poop, just need to add the dirt mix. 6th one I need to add cardboard and dirt.
5th and 6th are new beds this year. I might -need- to make 2-4 more. DH told me to start more seeds....Hope he knows I will need more of his $$!

Fed all the Tom thumb lettuce to the rabbits.
I'm thinking I'll plant some of the stuff, cover on cold nights and just hope for the best....

They do need pollinators. I would dust them with pollin when the flowers open or the cukes will not develop. They may have been pollinated by air movement. Take the pepper out of the center of the cluster to encourage more pepper development.

No air movement in the hall other than twice a day walking by. =/
Ah well. Lots of little mini cukes growing on them...

I'm going nuts over whether or not to risk planting some veggies now...lol...
