They always grow really good when you're not ready to plant them out. This is all the squash, cucumbers, and melons. Everything good except one watermelon pot and I put more seed in it tonight in case the half sprouted thing doesn't grow a true leaf. They were all planted about 2 weeks ago.
#PSA: contaminated cucumbers!
Food recall for salmonella!

Cucumbers, squash & courgettes climbing onward and upward! Saves space & looks fab. Tip: Pinch off early side shoots for stronger main stems & better production. #growyourown #vegetablegarden #cucumbers
I didn't know about this process for saving cucumber seeds. (At bottom of seed description, under "Seed Saving.")
A much longer process than scooping seeds out of a cucumber.

One of everything or more is sprouted except the yellow crook-neck that were planted later. Maybe it will warm up enough for these to be planted out after next week.
The cucumbers came up tuesday (shown), some runner beans today, and tonight I saw some of the melons coming up and maybe something else. I didn't have heat under them, just under the lights, maybe 70-75F, 23C, on the surface when the lights are on.
I turned the heat mats on tonight, some of the pots were too wet and I don't want the squash or melons to take too long to come up. All saved seeds except squash.
Just some #garden photos taken during this morning's tour. Planting was completed just a few days ago, about two weeks later than normal, due to low overnight temperatures. Everythng's looking good, although some plants could use a little liquid iron. (they've already got a shot of Cal-Mag). #gardening #vegetables #tomatoes #peppers #cucumbers #okra #eggplant #zucchini
Archiving cucumbers?
Listed to our podcast where we are joined by Principal Archivist at the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre, Ally McConnel,to talk about their work bringing gardening and archives together, as well as the wondrous, tiny tangible moments that can be found within archives and how they can be heart and soul of a community in the most unassuming ways.

Been using the #SamsungA16 for over a month now (nothing wrong with the J7Prime I was using for nine years before) and still trying to calibrate the #ProSettings for the #PhoneCamera... at least for #Daylight ... prepping #dinner for the next 4 nights, #tomatoes and oranges to be added later on top of the shredded #lettuce, grated #carrots and diced #cucumbers
Today's #fermentationstation
top shelf: ginger carrots - morracan lemon & limes - sourdough starter

Is Our #FoodSystem Safe?
For the fifth time in five months, the federal government has ordered a #foodrecall after listeria was discovered in #cucumbers.
Made some of our family's Teochew #Cholon style, black pepper & soy braised pork with cucumbers & steamed rice. The braised sauce is great poured over rice & cucumbers. We are eating it with a small bowl of chicken pho flavoured broth soup with green onions, cilantro & bits of soft tofu(not pictured). Our family's #AsianBreakfast today
A few of our #cucumbers are still growing.
Some large Oregon #snowpeas.
Ongoing soil remediation project is making slow & steady progress. Cardboard, topsoil, compost, woody debris, crushed seashells, seaweed, grass cuttings, leaf mulch are all breaking down together nicely.
