Finally, we were able to grow cucumbers in our tunnel, I mean actual cucumbers that one can eat. I will post picture shortly. I checked this weekend and noticed full size cucumbers tucked under the plant and was amazed by the size, I mean, was amazed as I tried before and got only small size and not even close to decent size. This year I think, we will heave pretty good cucumber crop. Despite late frost, they are producing and producing well. I am pretty excited about this as this is first time I managed to get to this point.
Almost forgot, after rain, things started to show and there is a bit of optimism related to garden and yard. Spend some time on Sunday aerating lawn in anticipation of more rain, though, rain did not materialize. We might have thunderstorm today and hopefully this will help. Grass looks not too bad but still showing sign of distress (yellow patches). Bad news, couple of plum trees might not survive as late frost weakened them and they look pretty dead. I will give them chance and keep them till at least next spring, but little hope they will survive.
That is the nature of growing things at high elevation and possibility of killer frost in June.
