They are gherkins. I've found a total of one cucumber beetle so far. Which is great. I have no idea where they are this year, but I'm happy they haven't shown up.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-39093339984093389422008-07-12T21:49:00.000-04:002008-07-12T21:49:00.000-04:00Yum Sungolds, garden candy.

I eill need to try your pickle recipe, if I ever get cukes.

I just planted a second crop on July 3rd. I've never done that before, but usually my first crop dies in early August sometime, so figured a second crop might work. I love my cukes, both pickled and plain. Pick an early cuke though to make sure. I planted Diamant which is a 47 day cuke, which means I ought to get cukes from it toward the second half of August. I'm hoping through September, but you never know what the weather will be like in September. So it is a little risky.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-80871296291439849122008-07-10T18:47:00.000-04:002008-07-10T18:47:00.000-04:00After reading your blog this past week I am starti...After reading your blog this past week I am starting to really wish I had planted some cucumbers this year. I want some homemade pickles now! Do you happen to know if it is too late in the season to start some? I'm sure I could squeeze one in....somewhere. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-74014896781385549222008-07-10T17:53:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:53:00.000-04:00That's funny - I have the opposite problem.

So far I've got loads of jars and no pickles, but there are signs of baby cucumbers forming, so maybe one day soon I will finally make use of some of those jars!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642836504821695236noreply@blogger.com
