4/30/00. Just planted 'Dasher II' cucumbers. Plants are small--just beginning to get first set of true leaves.
|
|
4/30/00. Since these cucumbers will run, I put them in large cages. Had good luck in the past with this technique. Soaker hose in place.
|
|
5/10/00. Growing really well. Hope to get enough from both varieties to make a batch of pickle this year.
|
|
5/14/00. Blossom buds beginning to form.
|
|
5/21/00. More blossom buds forming.
|
|
5/21/00. Growing well. Should begin to cling to cage soon.
|
|
5/23/00. First fully open bloom.
|
|
5/23/00. Tendril clinging to cage to help vine climb.
|
|
5/24/00. Dried grass mulch in place to reduce watering, control weeds, and keep soil surface from crusting.
|
|
5/25/00. First 'Dasher II' baby cucumber.
|
|
6/4/00. Vines are growing well.
|
|
6/10/00. About 4 inches long here, and of a very good shape.
|
|
6/16/00. Wonder how big these vines will get?
|
|
6/16/00. I thought this was interesting.
|
|
7/5/00. Vines are still growing strong--into the corn stalks.
|
|
7/9/00. Good size cucumber when ripe. Not too large. Good pickling cucumber.
|
|
7/23/00. They keep going, and going, and going...
|
|
8/10/00. Finally have to admit they're finished.
|
|
5/16/03. Had such good luck with these in the past that I'm growing them again.
