Happy Friday! We've had a wet August here on the Western Slope of Colorado. Tomatoes are exploding...had a nice garden salad the other nite with dinner, and have frozen some of my green chiles. Thanks to y'all, I added some egg shells to the tomato dirt, and I've not had any more issues with blossom end rot.

On the cucumber side, I got a cuke from one of my plants. You would expect it, normally, but in this case, I was quite surprised. The plant was a test, in a smaller container/pot. The plant itself hasn't grown much - it has several very small leaves, but in total, the plant might be about 2 - 3 inches tall, and that's it - anyhow, it started blooming like crazy and all of a sudden, there's a big cuke on it, quite bigger than the plant itself. I found it interesting.
