Picking and Poking

Today I picked enough beans to freeze a gallon.


Then I caught up on picking pickling Cucumbers.  A few got too big.


And I planted the spare Clarimore Zucchini plant where the slicing Cucumbers were taken out.  Back in the high humidity of July, after a rainstorm, the original plant exhibited one very wilty leaf.  Concerned that it was the beginning of wilt disease or an indicaton of Squash Vine Borer damage, I immediately cut that leaf off and sowed a potential replacement.  It has been hanging out in a gallon pot where it has recently decided it can't make it through the day on its allotment of water.  It will be easier to keep watered in the ground and it can go ahead and crank out too many squash.


A morning Sunflower....
