Well, I'm probably jumping the gun, but I've got one cucumber that's ready for munching!
Mmmm, mmmm, I'm so excited, I hope it's tasty. I learned that, if your cucumbers or the leaves are looking a little yellow, it probably means that they need some fertilizer with nitrogen in it and more water. I've been religiously watering them, sometimes even twice a day, but trying not to overwater. Now, I feel like this one is ripe and formed enough to harvest because the other little buds aren't doing anything -- I'm hoping getting this guy off the vine will let the water and nutrients get to the others.
Whew, this farming stuff is tough ;-)

I fondly remember these experiences, youth in agriculture, I really had no idea what was involved, but hardly a patch for a couple of hours with someone who had spent a decent portion of their life was learning everything I could be an impressive harvest vegetables in a small number of years.
