Started Transplanting All My Plants This Week

With the good weather over the past month it was time to start putting them into the ground right away.  The quicker they are placed in the ground the faster they will provide a good harvest hopefully.  This is why I decided to place them in the garden.  I still have not finished with the garden, but I should be complete by next week.

I am aiming for next week because I still have have plants to add to the garden including eggplant, peppers, along with planting corn, beans, and carrots.  There is still plenty to do and I am not sure if I can get this done by the weekend.  That is the earliest that I can get this done and even with good weather I might not get it done that quickly.

So far I have got a couple of alyssum plants in the ground along with squash, cucumbers, and melons.  This includes both watermelon and cantaloupe as well as zucchini and pumpkin squash plants.  I even had time to put some pot bound tomatoes into the ground too.

Here is a cucumber plant added to the garden this week.

Larger Cucumbers are Finally Coming From My Plants

It is about time that my plants have started to produce cucumbers that are large in size or at least much bigger than what I have been picking up.  Sometimes it just takes my cucumber plants some time before they can get the much larger fruit to start producing.  The earlier ones were small, but now they are getting bigger which is a good sign and means that the season is not over yet.

As you can see these three are pretty good sizes and I would definitely take more of them like this.

Not only are the cucumbers bigger, but I picked a very large tomato yesterday that was a good red color perfect for cutting up and placing on a sandwich.  The steakhouse tomatoes were supposed to be larger than the average tomato.  I am not surprised that these have grown to an enormous size.  In this case I am very pleased with the outcome.
