1st of the season

RebelRidin · July 14, 2013

These were picked this morning. Other than cherries, they are our first of the season. With all the rain we have had they may also be some of the last

Anyway, one of the KBX and Cherokee Purple made some nice BLT's this evening. Flavor was only fair... just too darn much rain!
Some Sweet Success cukes with them. Those things get incredible size to them.

Verrry Nice! What kind of cukes are those? I like marketmores. There is an old school hybrid called Gemini that I also grow, mostly for nostalgia, LOL

Those are sweet success cukes Jenn. With the shortage of bees for pollination, I just love them. They have been very productive and are still going strong. I have never seen cukes the size of these things though!

PS - Very glad you are doing better and very glad to see you back.

Thank you. I'm going to try those. The geminis are all female as well...
I figured I would change my avatar to my face for a while since I feel like I have a new one after my 7 plastic plastic face surgeries... LOL, I can honestly say that anyone that has elective plastic surgery is nuts, it felt like I was stung repeatedly by many wasps... ON MY FACE... Anyway thank you for telling me, I am going to try that variety next year.

TOO MUCH RAIN.

Flavor of these was a bit disappointing. Still better than anything at the store of course but sub par.

Hopefullly the weather and the toms will improve.

I agree on the too much rain front, but your harvest still looks wonderful. Cheers!
