I would surely visit you as well with all that bounty.LOL
Hubby just brought in the first cucumber this year, and said he had a lot of small ones coming on.

Maybe I’ll get to make some dill piclkles this year. We haven’t had a decent cucumber crop since 2010.

Hubby thinks that the last summer was so hot and dry that a lot of the bugs died, because we have been relatively free of insects etc. so far this year. Thinks the soil got baked free of pests and soil borne diseases.

Did you have a lot of cold snaps last winter/early spring? It seems like when we do, we have fewer early insect problems, but since correlation isn’t causation....
