Garden Update -- Cucumbers, Cucumbers, & More Cucumbers

in garden •  5 years ago 

The plants are starting to pump out cucumbers. Yesterday's harvest was 16. Adding in 2 I grabbed while walking by on Saturday that brings to the total to 24 in 3 days. There are at least 4 varieties in the picture. The short fat pickling ones, long skinny rough skin ones, medium rough skin ones, and medium smooth skin ones are all different varieties. Betting that short fat one in the upper right with the dark green on one end is another variety too.

Irrigation system is working pretty darn good. Have to do a quick adjustment or 2 nearly every day as the growing plants tend to grab onto the tubing and move it out of the pot occasionally. Still so much better than watering manually. With the heat the last couple of days I've had to water them twice a day.

I think the zucchini were finally starting to take off. Thing the thunderstorms Saturday night triggered them to finally grow. Forgot my phone when I went out to water the cucumbers so I'll have to remember to get a picture today.
