My tomato is tanking and that was all we put in this year with covid and travel. But we'll try to eat as local as we can.

I was pleased to see there were some decent sized ones. <br />I'm just taking a moment now to mourn the loss of my cucumber plants. The two I have on the back porch in big yogurt tubs have a long way to go before they can produce fruit. I'll stick them in the garden fairly soon.coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-13002668088836214312020-07-31T11:19:40.178-04:002020-07-31T11:19:40.178-04:00I'll have to pop over and have a look!I'll have to pop over and have a look!coffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-56129331166272263222020-07-31T11:04:46.629-04:002020-07-31T11:04:46.629-04:00How great you could enjoy all your hard work.

I've kept myself from digging some of our potatoes (what if there are none there!?) but, seeing yours, I'm thinking I might actually have some big enough to use. I'm really excited in that the first of our slicing cukes are just about ready to harvest. To my mind, you simply cannot purchase a cucumber that comes close to tasting like one straight from your garden!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-53083850070602803012020-07-31T09:36:30.698-04:002020-07-31T09:36:30.698-04:00It is a great feeling isn't it.
