The only cukes I have that are producing are some Japanese
cukes I got from rareseeds.com. They are putting out
beautiful 16" cukes that are only one inch in diameter.
Absolutely wonderful. The rest of my cukes are taking over
the general area, but no fruit yet. Melons are doing the
same - lotsa vines, no fruit, few flowers.


my lemon cukes are taking over the garden & producing like
mad. my Jimmy's White cukes are making lots of male flowers,
but no female flowers.
somehow i have an Asian Tiger melon growing in the cukes row,
& it's also setting fruit like crazy, while the Asian melons
in their own corner only have 2 fruits on 6 vines...
my tomatoes look wonderful, or they would if it were the end
of July rather than the end of August i'm seriously
considering putting a temporary greenhouse over the tomato
rows...
lee has a dozen black swallowtail caterpillers on the dill
right now. i plant extra for them
