It's "lock-all-doors" time of the year again
Yes, the zucchinis are ripening. Mine are in plain view, yet I am just
staying ahead of them (so I think). Three days in a row, 15" zukes have surprised me. Yet my smugness is just the cucurbit's way of lulling me into complacency, and a false sense of security, while the crook necks, in their villainy, plot, unobserved. Soon I'll be the pariah of the neighborhood, as I walk the streets with my heavy load of green, and yellow logs, searching for the unlocked car door, or the unobserved porch. And then it's run-a-way, run-a-way. In any event the exercise, and the fiber is good for me ;O) Yeah, I know, too much information. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://radwisdom.com/essays/this-is-your-brain/ |

Wishing I wuz a neighbor......we are the only people on the face of

Nan in DE Last year, we tried to interplant the zukes with the tomatoes (tall and short), and it was a freakin' disaster. Year before, we planted three squash, all in new garden soil. This year, it is 5 (so far) in established garden soil, and they have gone bonkers. The sun flowers are struggling to keep their heads above the squash leaves. There are 3 more, recently planted squash in new soil, and we'll see how that goes. You must have someone, a neighbor, or relative, or co-worker you can trade with. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://radwisdom.com/essays/this-is-your-brain/ |

Three days in a row, 15" zukes have surprised me. pick them early and pick them often. i eat them fresh without anything added i like them better than cucumbers, but then i like okra too.

And then it's run-a-way, run-a-way. haha, very funny images there, we are too open for anyone to be able to do that, but i would welcome neighbors who grow squash and and things other than what we grow here. In any event the exercise, and the fiber is good for me ;O) Yeah, I know, too much information. at least they would know to follow the poop trail... songbird |

I think it goes like this (I could be wrong, Still brain shocked "Pickling" cucumbers should be picked small 1-4 inches long and often. If they get larger and start to form seeds inside the cucumber, it will send a signal and the plant will die and start its life cycle over again. "Slicing" cucumbers can get larger for slicing and dicing without the plant going into its premature life cycle. I prefer the "Pickling" Cucumbers. -- Enjoy Life...
