After dropping Steven off this morning, I stopped by the garden. Having just picked 5 cukes and 2 zukes yesterday, I wasn't planning or expecting for anything to be ready for picking. After all, it had been just over 12 hours.
I noticed that there are more zukes that will certainly be more than ready to pick tomorrow morning. And the cukes... I had to pick 2 more cukes...they were ready. Additionally, I'm seeing that there will another 3-4 cukes that will be ready by tomorrow morning.
So...the picking I did yesterday with the intention of shipping it up to Albany with my Dad for his flight tomorrow, will be able to stay in my fridge, and I'll be able to pick even fresher produce tomorrow morning!
Today, cucumbers # 27 and # 28 were given to Trish, who lives in a house neighboring the garden. The onions now growing in the garden were complements of Trish. I snapped a photo of Trish with the freshly picked cukes this morning...

THE HAPPY FROG GARDEN PATCH is dedicated to the fun of growing an abundance of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Located at the Common Ground Community Garden in Safety Harbor, FL, the garden was started in April 2010 by Dr. Shawn Hollander, an optometrist, and owner of Safety Harbor Optical. Lending a tremendous helping hand is garden assistant Sandy Kracov, whose help has enabled the expansion of the garden to almost double its original size. The raised bed garden now measures 36' x 10'.

The Cucumber vines are producing almost as fast as I can pick them!
