Yay! My cucumber seeds sprouted! The seeds were about 3 years old if not more so I wasn't sure if they would go or not. But they are doing great! I am giving them lots of water so they hurry up and become big!
I think I will plant some zucchini as well. The package says only 50 days to harvest so they should do well.
My Squash is growing an so is my egg plant. I am hopeful to get a harvest from them. My strawberries are thriving- if producing odd shaped berries and my bell peppers and banana peppers are flowering. Things are going great!

I picked 3 cucumbers (Burpless variety) on Saturday from one of my plants. There is another out there ready to be picked too. I just wish my tomatoes would hurry up and turn red. It seems like they've been green forever!
Enjoy watching your cucumbers grow & have fun eating them!

I planted some older cucumber seeds this year and they sprouted within a couple of days. I can't wait to make pickles!
I had a terrible time with eggplant this year-I don't think I'll be seeing any. Enjoy your garden!

Life situations and circumstances change quickly, often without notice... Take each challenge with a positive attitude. |
