Big boys...

These next two kind of snuck up on me. I just wasn't looking hard enough or in the right place. Check out the album for a couple others but these make it a total of 19 cucumbers.

14 cucumbers and counting...

Here's the latest and greatest pictures of my cucumber plants and the cucumbers I've picked in the last week including the 3 in the last picture that are from today alone:



This brings the total number of cucumbers picked from my plants to 14 with plenty more on the way.

Update...

It's been a week since my last post. My wife is days away from giving birth so most of my time has been devoted to that. An update though on my EarthBox: I've picked at least 11 cucumbers now and there are at least 2 or 3 that are ready to be picked with plenty more to come. I'm definitely sold on the EarthBox now and can't wait to get another. The cucumbers have been some of the best tasting I've ever had. On more than one occasion, there has been a bitter taste to the store-bought cucumbers I've had but there is no case of that with my homegrown ones. It's truly a sight to see. I'll get some more pictures up of my latest pickings as well as how my plant looks now as it's been while since I last posted one. I skipped on the trellis because things seem to be doing just fine on their own. Next year though, I'll know what to expect and will be ready from the start.

Also check out the right column as I'll have some blogs and sites I check out regarding real food.
