It was rather exciting to see blossoms on my cucumber plant!

I planted cucumbers as an experiment with a second summer garden. Two of the three mounds have vines! Alas,the peas I also planted don’t seem to be fairing as well. I think something found them delicious because there is only one pea vine, all the other sprouts have disappeared. We’ll see if I actually get cucumbers before the first freeze (which doesn’t usually happen here until November). It will be a first, as this is as far as I’ve managed to get cucumbers.

As a bonus, here is a video from our camera in the coop of the chickens heading out into the runs after the automatic door opens in the morning.
