Harvest

On By CarynIn Cats, eggs, Garden

I’m glad I found the harvest apron when I went out to the cucumber patch and coop. I hadn’t been out in a couple days and I found 5 cucumbers and three eggs!

First cucumbers

On By CarynIn Garden

This year my husband moved the metal trough “raised” garden bed out into the meadow where there is more sunlight. I set a trellis in the middle and planted cucumbers. I have meant to run a timed watering line out there, but it hasn’t happened yet. I haven’t had to hand water often, though, because we’ve been receiving frequent rain. It has worked. I’ve been harvesting cucumbers!

I’m training the vines up the trellis to keep the cucumbers off the ground, which works really, really well.

I have not installed deer deterrent yet in the form of a fence or barrier. That is on the to do list.
