My cucumbers are winding down and are losing their vigor like these 50 I picked today. I didn't count the first 3 pickings but this batch brings the count to near 300 off 6 plants. Friends are slamming the door on me like I'm bringing Zucchini. We did have some rain but just enough to sprout a zillion weeds

Wow, makes my 3 plants look lazy, LOL!

My cucumber plants started looking weird - brown spots, then dead leaves, then dead vines. Next year I’ll have to figure out what that was and prevent it.

I am getting a boatload of tomatoes and green beans still. I like having an excess of vegetables I can can.

But I’m still trying to figure out my tattler lids. I’ve canned about 30 quarts od water, trying different techniques for tightening the lid to see what works without having to deal with food that didn’t seal. I still have 4 jars of apple pie filling in the frig..

Too bad you don’t live closer, I take some off your hands. That’s a darn good amount especially for just 6 plants.
