Thank you for the information. We will do that and keep an eye for the split “seams”.
Bye for now, off to see the community garden plot.
I’m still getting a cucumber or two a day, but they have mostly stopped, or are going to seed stage. BTW, I learned that orange or yellow cukes are really bitter! I guess thats what seed stage does to them.
I am mostly getting tomatoes and peppers now. Several gallon bags of both orange and red tomatoes in the freezer. I’ll work on something to do with them soon. Definitely a catsup recipe for some of the orange ones.
I wanted to let the watermelons go for a while, but they had other ideas. Of the five I had, one was almost completely rotted out, so I tossed it. One had a few small cracks, so I harvested it, cut away the very small bad parts and the rest was very tasty! Third had a rotten spot on one end, but after cutting away that spot, the rest has been very good. Fourth had some major splits, and will be tossed. Fifth is doing well, but after some rain yesterday and today, I’m worried about it splitting too. I’d love to let it go for a little while longer to get bigger, but we’ll see.
