HI RED!! my cucumbers are still going great. sold 12 of them for $7. still have plenty more. strange thing though, some of the vines are looking funky, all brown around the edges and crispy, no idea what that is about. my tomatos have me worried. lots of green maters but none of them are turning color. they have been there for weeks and some look like they have a bit of dark brown on them. it does not look good. my green beans are doing great and the cabage looks yummy. i’m hearing thunder in the distance and so i need to head out a grab some beans for supper. i will definately check back later.

AWESOME!!!! That is so super!

I'm going to be toast if my tomatoes all ripen at the same time, there is SO much fruit but at the moment ALL of it is green.

I saw your coment about cucumbers and wanted to pass on a little trick I learned, somewhere.... I buy Vlasic pickles and save the juice and add fresh cucumbers - it only takes about 24 hours and they taste “pickled” but fresher - the juice will work for about 4 refills but after that the water from the fresh cucumbers tends to water down the solution. I’ve also added banana peppers to the mix - really a good fresh taste!
