Also, there are several large yellow bell peppers ready in a few more days. Picked a bowl full of orange sungold and another bowl full of the Chadwick cherries. Picked 3 more large cucumbers, but it may be the end of the slicers for this garden.
Imagining planting both fences with the larger varieties next Spring, and trying for 300 cucumbers. Will have to learn how to make cucumber salad and store for long term use. With the watering support, may yet get another round of pole beans. There are purple podded beans to pick, and more of the green beans also.
But the amazing thing at the garden today was just how many Delicious tomatoes were ripe--apparently these ripen much later than the Brandy Boy and Brandywine varieties. Picked 12 more of the large Delicious tomatoes today!
Also picked 7 more eggplants. Many more on their way, especially after the watering. Eggplants love this heat, so expecting another several weeks of eggplants.
New photos to come soon. Here are the new totals:
Large Cucumbers: 147
Large tomatoes: 99
Zucchinis: 44
Eggplants: 34

I had a bumper crop of cucumbers last year and found a really delicious and easy recipe for refrigerator pickles. Not too many other ways to extent the life of a cucumber. I like this recipe because you don't have to boil the jars. I also started growing dill to use in this recipe. Here's the link to get it.
