I am always anxious for Dick to get the garden in.  It is nice and green (with weeds) and is producing way beyond my expectations. A week ago I picked 2 five gallon buckets of cucumbers, which I have put up as Cinnamon Pickles. Today, I picked 2 more five  gallon buckets of cucumbers, which I will put up as Sweet Lime Pickles. Then I will do Bread and Butter Pickles with the next batch.  We have buckets full of Squash every few days, so if you need any let me know.  Our onions have outdone themselves this year.  We have lots of cantaloupe and honeydew coming on.  (I am questioning my judgment of being so anxious to get this garden going - seems like a lot of work now)  On the other hand, we really enjoy all the fresh produce.
