Cucumber Sprouts

My cucumber sprouts are starting to slowly emerge from the soil. 

First Cucumbers from the Kid's Garden

Martín planting his cucumber

Martín decided to grow cucumber in his raised bed this year. So this evening he and I got outside to starting the seeds. He was so excited to grow his "pepinos".

Zucchini, Squash and Cucumbers

All of my zucchini, squash and cucumbers I sowed has started and is ready to be translated, once the weather cooperates, we are technically past our average last frost date, but still having some cold nights.

Garden Harvest upon Return

We just got back from driving out to Colorado for a family reunion. We had a great time, got to see family, and even was able to go see the edible gardens at the Denver Botanical Garden.

Upon arriving back home this weekend, we saw that there were vegetables waiting for us, as well as a ton more blueberries. Julia was able to make a quick Cucumber Tomato salad with apple cider vinegar and a little bit of salt. It came out delicious.

We did have a causality, well, actually about 600 to 700 causalities I am sad to say. Our worm bin became too wet while we were gone, and there were no worms left when I looked through it last night. Not sure if it was getting some rain coming in through the sides if it was windy, or if it was a factor of the food that was in the bin. I am going to have to see what I am going to do with composting with worms in the future.

Tomato, Basil, Cucumber, Feta Cheese and Bullhorn Pepper

The other night Julia made a dish with our homegrown Tumbling Toms, Genovese Basil, and our first Diva Cucumber. It was delicious.

And we harvested our first Bullhorn pepper of the season. A full 7 ounces.

Summer Squash, Cucumbers & Melons

On Sunday night we sowed some Zephyr summer squash, zucchini, cucumbers, Delicata squash, Kabacha squash, and Moon & Stars watermelon. I also threw in there a few more basil, dill, and thyme seeds.
