Singular. One cucumber harvest. But, super exciting for me because this is my first successful cucumber planting! I pulled this guy off because we had a large storm rolling in and I was worried about hail damage. We did have hail, so it was a good call.

There are more potential cucumbers on the vine. This one developed for three weeks, so there is a chance of more cucumbers before winter saunters into our neck of the woods!

Oh my oh my! There is an actual cucumber developing on my cucumber vine!

The cucumber vines are happy in their wire enclosure (recycled from the cage we cobbled together for the growing chicks), and are now climbing the wire. I put up the wire the keep the critters out, but I’m happy that the cucumber is up off the ground.

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.
