Zukes, Cukes, and Beans oh my!

Today was a good day! It's blazing hot at 94 degrees! They say it will rain today! I hope so, we could use it. Went out to water the garden and I saw this cuke ready to be harvested. We grew the pickling kind of cucumber, since my friend gave me this great pickle recipe. However, I might just eat this cuke in a salad, it looks yummy.
Here is today's harvest. 9 pole beans, 1 cucumber, 1 beet and 1 zucchini! The best harvest we've had so far! So exciting!

  2. Good deal. When our cucumbers and squash start coming in, we usually get overloaded.

    Hang in there, it shoule be long now.

  7. This year I only planted pickling cukes. I like eating them just as much as the slicing kind in my salads so I figure they are more versatile.

  8. Whew, sounds too hot for me, I'm a weather wimp, can't take the heat or the cold.

    I plant only salad cukes, but make pickles with them sometimes. You're off to a good start with your harvests.
