GROWING CUCUMBERS # 101

Earlier in the year, I planted a second crop of cucumbers since my first ones had pretty much stopped producing. When I planted them, I neglected to put my packet of seeds away, and left them laying on the shelf in my greenhouse overnight. The next morning they were all gone with only fragments of the seed hulls laying around.

A couple of weeks later, I found out where my seeds went. Tiny cucumber plants started emerging out from under the bottom shelving in the greenhouse!!

The second sowing did rather poorly due to the dry weather and an onslaught of beetles, but the ones “planted” by the critters are doing great!!



THE PEANUT CAPER

In the middle of a discussion with friends just now, about growing peanuts, and it seems like several have given them a try at least once, with varying degrees of success. I had to try it at least one time to see what they looked like growing and to see if I could. (A typical Vero characteristic)
