Today I picked my first 10" cucumber. Now they will come fast and furiously. Each one I harvest will make more room for the others to develop. There will be more than enough to share. I also harvested a healthy handful of green beans. They are so sweet I could eat them straight from the plant. A good serving for dinner tonight. Lunch will include a sliced cucumber salad. Can't wait for the tomatoes to start turning red.

There's nothing so sweet as picking your vegetables from you own garden. Enjoy.

Cucumbers are so easy to grow and yours is a good sized one. I never grew beans as I don't like to eat them. Tomatoes will be good as soon as they turn red.

That's awesome. Fresh veggies is a lot healthier. Less worries about pesticides. Keep enjoying those freshly picked veggies. Cucumbers are great in a salad.

It must be so satisfying to grow your own veggies. I only grow flowers.

You are enjoying a big time harvest. No need for the farmer's market for you.
