these pickling cucumbers are gonna be tough as nails by the time they pull through:

potato flowers:
should be able to harvest at least some fingerling potatoes sometime soon and then these plants will just keep going.



cucumber:
kale, as you can see these got a little thrashed by the hail, but as far as greens for cooking, it doesn't get much better than this.

  1. Everything looks so good after a rain, what great rainbows! I especially like your security system. Looks like you'll be spending lots of time harvesting peas and beets soon.
