More Picking...

I've been trying to delay picking all of the cabbage at the same time, even though I planted it all at the same time.  I don't want to wait too late to remove it from the garden, but I don't want to remove it before I am ready to use, freeze or give away.  So, last Friday, I decided to go ahead and pick some more cabbage and of course some more cucumbers. :-)  It seems every day I head out to the garden, I find more ripe cucumbers have magically appeared!  I love it--our garden is full of daily surprises! I am biased, but I think this is prettiest produce picture I've taken so far!

After the rain and heavy winds we received today, I went out to investigate any damage we may have received to the garden.  We had a few stalks of corn, some bean plants and one of my green pepper plants blown over, but we hope they will straighten back up in a few days since none were uprooted or broken.  I had a few vines break on my tomato plants, but all in all, minimal damage.  While I was tying up some of the larger tomato vines, I noticed our zucchini is getting close to being ready for harvest!  Then, I went to our usual cucumber vines...yep...18 more cucumbers were ready to pick!  So, guess what we added to our bedtime snack tonight?  I must say, before this garden project, I never thought I'd see Brett share a cucumber with Kately and I.  HOORAY for fruits and veggies in their little tummies!
