I actually have harvested a good number or zucchini so far this year! And they've been delicious. Still not experiencing the crazy abundance I keep expecting, but there was a little accident.
We had plumbers working in the yard, and they splashed water onto the zucchini plants. I was hoping they'd be okay, but powdery mildew started to set in. Bah. I've trimmed off the bad leaves, but the plants seem to not be producing as they were. I'll keep you posted!
The strawberries have been amazing. They really grow themselves. The best thing I did was move the strawberry planter into the sunniest place in our yard.
We've been enjoying beautiful, perfectly ripe strawberries for months!
The corn is getting freaking huge. HUGE. I'm watching it carefully, as I think it will soon be time to start harvesting, but the ears are still a little small. For being HUGE.
I'm concerned as there seem to be some ants living on the corn. I don't know what that means, and I also don't know how to get rid of them. The corn itself seems unaffected, so for now I'll just keep watch.
Cuke. Um. Ber. Holy moly.
Its almost indecent how enormous my cucumber is. I'm letting it get a little bigger--it still has some spiny thorns that don't look like good eats--but soon, we will be enjoying our first home grown cuke!
