Over 100 cukes!!

It has been a week since watering, and we had no measureable rainfall all week. The mulch must really be working because I'm not seeing any drought stress . I watered everything in this morning using 1 ounce of Maxicrop per gallon of water. For information on Maxicrop, refer to this link: http://www.maxicrop.com/pages/benefits.html

Was met at the garden today by Matt and Brett and was able to send them both home with some samples.

With the help of Jeff, Brett and Trish we mulched the paths and put down the landscape fabric around the garden, then we finished intalling the fence for Myrtice's Ambrosia melons to climb.

Picked five more cukes today, bringing the total up to 102. Here is cuke #100 hanging down from the bamboo trellis: Thanks to this Blog, I can refer back to the first post and see that the first cucumber was picked on April 3rd.
April 3 - May 1 = 102 large cucumbers, from five plants, started from seed on Feb 6.

Picked 2 more eggplants today, bringing the total to three. There is a wasp, a beneficial insect to a vegetable garden on the left leaf.

Picked two more zucchinis bringing the total up to 24. Picked a Tiger Stripe Zucchini--our most vigorously growing zucchini plant: There are 2 honeybees in the open flower.
