We've popped home from the beach for a couple of days and I've been meandering through my garden.
SCORE!!!
6 cucumbers - a couple of them a little on the big side for lebanese cukes but they still taste nice.
My first harvest for this season.
In other garden news:
The tomato bushes have gone crazy in my absence but at least they're growing a nice amount of fruit. Will investigate them more closely tonight when it gets cooler.
The corn has taken off and gone from dwarf corn to nice tall ears. Not sure how much fruit is on them but there is some. The poor corn has taken such a battering from bugs that I'll just be pleased to see some of it come to maturation and bear fruit.
My 3rd attempt at planting beans and zucchini has again come to nothing. *sigh* I do love me some fresh beans too! :(
Never mind, you win some, you lose some.

Yum!!! I have had no luck with my cucumber seeds, and have resorted to seedling cukes. I have (unusually) had no luck with beans either, despite my love for them. Best wishes for a long summer harvest!
It's great watching the garden grow isn't it? One thing I've never had any trouble with is zucchini - they go absolutely wild. This year I made to only plant a few seeds so I wouldn't have a years worth of zucchini to get through.

Most of my plants are suffering caterpillar attack. There is one young bird out there most evenings having himself a bug feast, but I wish he'd invite a few friends over. I'm getting enough beans and tomatoes for eating, (I'm the only one who eats them, hubby prefers chips), but still, about 50% is bug nibbled.
