(There's your pic ;))

Kid is still napping, miraculously, so I haven't accomplished a whole lot. I'm stuck here for another 40 minutes anyway now so I can get the bread out of the bread machine when it's done.

Back in 1999 did you here KY corporations promotion for the new millenium?

They called it Y2K Jelly

guaranteed to have four digits work instead of just two :lol:

Eating the first cucumber I picked from the garden for the year.

Awesome. I have about 1/2 dz cukes on deck for picking by the weekend. And long italian peppers a bunch. My biggest disappointment has been Cilantro and parsley, I cant seem to get good regrowth, especially the cilantro, it seems to flower only, I clipped both back and hope it regenerates some shoots.

With the direction this thread, heck this forum, has taken today, are you sure you want to talk about fresh picked cucumbers. Next, zucchini?

I think you want to put this into the gutter :)

I really feel dirty.... I'm thinkin about heading home for a shower ;)

Well I almost said pulled a cuke from the garden, but figured picked was safer. ;-)

Mo - picked three today, but the cucumber vine is out of control and taking over the garden so there will be many more. We've also got basil that looks real nice. Some beans that are just getting started. Red and Jalapeno peppers and enough tomatoes coming in to feed an army. But that's OK, I'm happy to eat fresh tomatoes as a snack. This is our first time planting a garden so we have a few things to work out.

This is my first real foray into veggie gardening this season, so I kept it simple with variety of peppers, 2 cuke varieties, 9 varietes of tomatoes, and 2 herbs. Plan to expand it next season and try to stagger some product to extend the season.

Nice, we've got 12 plants with 6 varieties. We planted them too close together, so it's more of a tomato jungle. :lol:

Same here, but our soil quality blows, so I had to dig 2 trenches 3' by 12' 18' deep thru 3 inch roots and rock and reload with real soil. Ended up using free organic leaf mulch that was pretty much soil and it works great. Gonna dig 2 more for next season.

We've got 4 tomato plants going, a nice planter of both yellow and green beans that we've been picking for the last week now, a half dozen pumpkins, a half dozen sun flowers, and a bunch of basil planted this year. And if I need some corn all I have to do is just hop the stone wall at the back of my property and there's a 10 acre field of butter + sugar corn (Don't worry, while I do fresh pick during corn season, I also stop by the farmer's stand and give them the proper amount of $$)

One of the benefits of having property that backs up onto a working farm that does have livestock is that I always have both a fresh and copious supply of manure available for the garden whenever I need it ;)

Our soil is crappy too. I built a raised bed and we bought a bunch of 2 year seasoned manure from the local Dairy as well as some peat moss and garden soil from Lowes. I think we paid $15 for 3 100lb bags of the manure.
