I apparently get a dirty mind when my guy has been in the rig for more than a couple weeks. I did manage to find a dozen more cucks. Huge ones.

Anyway. One of the four is still alive. The other three I had to cut back. And even given rich soil and lots of water they srent leading at all. I'll leave them be till next spring.

I've had gardens I had to mow the rows because of working too much...... You do what you can do. Nice tomatoes and cukes!

Okay. So hai again.

Sorry I haven't been around too much. Took a week's vacation a little while ago planning on detailing everything that's been going on. Didn't happen.

Anyway. I think I told y'all all those raspberry bushes are dead.

But my garden is huge and finally weeded. And I've had so many cucumbers that I ended up pickling them. I think I have fifteen gallons of them now. Soo good and instill have several weeks of cucumber growing before the plants are done.

I did have to remove a few cucumber plants. They were overrunning my peppers and turned my tomato bushes into a triple canopy jungle. Bugs loved them. So yeah. I'm down 5 cucumber plants. No loss there. My red peppers came out just fine. And will be ready to pick in a week or two. And have a lot of gigantic tomatoes that will be ready about the same time. So I'm super excited to try to make my own salsa.

Yippie. Today is Thursday. So I'll be getting up early and going to the farmers market to try to get rid of some of these pickles.

Awesome! I had a volunteer cucumber that has been producing pretty well. Made a nice cuke salad the other day. I think there are a couple more about ready to be picked.
