    Nice looking berries. The ones we get here aren't that fresh and nice looking. They have traveled up from California so they have a few miles on them.

    That sure didn't take long. It is true then that you can actually see it grow in the right conditions?

    I don't know about literally see it grow, but it grows pretty darn fast. We can see the growth from one day to the next and some days the growth is pretty substantial, like after a big rain.

    Picked my first 2 tomatoes today. Cukes aren't looking good from all the rain. Green beans have tons of blossoms so it shouldn't be long on those.

    Nice zucs When I was growing them, I would leave them too long and they would get huge. the smaller ones are easier to work with.

    I had a few get pretty big, they can go from good size to oversize in less than a day. Cukes do the same thing.

    Next week I will be doing green beans. I like to eat them, but I hate picking them. Makes my back hate me for about 3 days.

    Wow, it will be ready for Ricky real soon. I never got to eat any of my corn. The raccoons always got it first. Yes, they can climb. Hope you have an electric fence around that.
