Invasion of the Cucumber Vines

There's an invasion of cucumber vines in the garden.

This is two lemon cucumber plants.

They're planted on the edge at either end of the bin. 

So much for the stepping stones. they won't be seen for months now.

Here's what the vines look like from above.

 I have to keep moving them to keep them from covering up the lavender and spanish tarragon plants. I also have to keep them from climbing up the pepper plants. They seem to grow a foot every day.

Here's the first lemon cucumber I can find.

I'll have to keep a close eye out

because they're hidden underneath all the leaves.

Here's my first eggplant.

 We've been getting rain every day.

That's good and bad.

There are some of my garden salsa peppers.

I read about them and I guess they are quite hot.

I may have to dry them and use them in soups this winter.

The plants in my other bin aren't doing as well.

The fennel are doing ok, but the squash aren't doing much at all.

The tomato plants in front aren't doing much either. Too much rain.

Here's Barney smelling the lavender flowers.

I decided to pick the one cucumber to try it out.

It probably could have gone a bit longer.

It was delicious, mild and sweet.

Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
