MY OWN PICKLING CUCUMBER
It’s probably says something significant about gardening in Bend that I’m posting the harvest of a single pickling cucumber!!
.
.
.
Last night, the prediction was for 34 degrees and since we’re often a couple of degrees colder than wherever the official temp is taken, I rigged up protection for some of the more delicate stuff…
.
.
With the thermostat-controlled lights under the 6-mil plastic, I’m figuring we can keep the tomatoes alive long enough to get at least a few. Another (pollinated) zucchini seems to be growing, and there are LOTS of tomatillos in side their little husks. This morning a hummingbird perched on the wire around the zucchini and visited a lot of the tomatillo flowers, which was fun to watch.
.
Not the sort of gardening environment I’ve been accustomed to, for sure.
