Th...Laura, in 2009 we had a really cool summer too. The Diamants produced, but getting them started that year was impossible. Because of the constant rain the slugs had armies and the cucumbers were taken down before they could get very far. I don't know the variety of dill. It was dill that I've had for about 15 years self sowing in the garden. The widest girth is about an inch. But that is where it has no competition. In the main garden they are much narrower, but not shorter.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-22556430480278624072011-07-10T10:34:02.577-04:002011-07-10T10:34:02.577-04:00So jealous of the cucumbers!

I probably will only get cukes in late August and only for a few weeks before the season is done. I guess something as opposed to nothing is still good. <br /><br />What variety of dill is growing with your strawberries? It looks like a really sturdy beautiful plant. <br /><br />The tomatoes look healthy so the delay in spraying with the fungicide does not seem to be causing you problems. I think you sling will work wonderfully.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-77553109372973917252011-07-10T09:34:23.202-04:002011-07-10T09:34:23.202-04:00Ali, finally.

All my Diamants died in the cold snap in May so these replaced them.<br /><br />Sue, Oh yes. I often add some Jarlsburg too. Sometimes I just have cukes and onions for a salad. I love cucumber salads.<br /><br />Vegetable Garden Cook, :><br /><br />Thomas, I try to plant them about a foot apart. I do use runners to fill the bed in so sometimes they don't get quite that much. But mostly the runners are about a foot long. I was shocked nothing was eating my berries yet. We don't have chipmunks here (thank goodness). We have way too many cats in this neighborhood for that. The chipmunks in my last garden were my nemesis. <br /><br />Stefaneener, thanks<br /><br />Melissa, thanks<br /><br />Ribbit, yes this garden produces a better yeilds per square foot than my last one. And it is a lot bigger too.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-10869069193135600212011-07-10T08:25:35.814-04:002011-07-10T08:25:35.814-04:00So, are you getting a higher yield out of this gar...So, are you getting a higher yield out of this garden than at your old house?Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-32299480214308434212011-07-10T08:11:19.119-04:002011-07-10T08:11:19.119-04:00Your garden is so beautiful Daphne!
