My garden has been challenging this season but yet thrills me with delight. I pulled 3 cucumbers, 1 squash and 1 beautiful, perfectly shaped strawberry. The cucumbers are hard to find. The leaves are so much bigger than I expected so I have to kind of search under them for ripe cucumbers. I found 3 today. And so far, everyone of them (10 total) have been so delicious. But something I didn't know....cucumbers have little prickers on them. I keep forgetting to put on my garden gloves when I go looking for them and ouch!!! Something prickerly gets me. Is prickerly even a word?? Ha-ha! The squash is in my mind, perfectly shaped and bright yellow. The strawberry which I was getting ready to take a photo of got snatched by Cody right off the vine. I washed it for him and he devoured it. He loves fresh strawberries and can you blame him? I must admit, this strawberry plant is producing like crazy for me. And really nice sized strawberries too. I have no idea what I did different from last year which yielded pretty much nothing but a different pot and a different spot? Humm....guess we'll see next year when I buy a new plant.
Anyway, I'm thrilled with my garden.
