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 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!

Cheryl- Yup! Very proud! I love to garden and I am such a kid at heart- It always thrills me to see that my seeds have sprouted! It's like a little form of magic!
my cukes are so late (short growing season here) that i am just praying i will get a few cukes but not likely i will get enough to make bread and butter pickles *sigh* hopefully next year i will ahve a green house and will be able to have better luck in my garden. we sure chose one of the hardest places on earth to try to be self sufficient! peace connie in alaska
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! Dawn in IL
