Thank you, JK. I’m so happy to be gardening again. There’s nothing like watching those little seedlings grow and flourish.
Your daughter caught the gardening bug! Haha I love to hear that! She sounds like she’s really enjoying being able to grow her own veggies and it’s proof you don’t need to have large gardens to be rewarded with tasty offerings!
That’s disappointing about the cucumbers. Wow, those things usually grown uncontrollably once they start. Though I know a couple of years ago, our neighbor here in WI and my daughter, who lives in MN were both struggling with their cucumber plants. Not sure if it’s seeds or growing conditions? But this year, wow, the cukes in our garden are going crazy. The broccoli, well, that was apparently was planted solely for the benefit of bunnies, 🐰 😕
Enjoy your tomatoes! They’re so yummy fresh off the vines. I found this really good recipe that uses up those cherry tomatoes! We’ve had it a couple of times. If you try the recipe, let me know how you like it.

@loribmt We finally got a cucumber when my daughter was visiting and when she got home she had three. I think they are a late blooming variety. They're lemon cucumbers, have you ever heard of them? They are yellow and about the size of a lemon, round not long, and milder tasting than most cucumbers. So far still just one though.

@loribmt That recipe sounds yummy. I will definitely try it. The tomatoes from my plant are the tiniest cherry tomatoes I have seen. My husband and I both love cherry tomatoes used in sheet pan dinners though so I'm sure we will like that.
Last year my daughter did have abundant cucumbers, her whole garden grew like crazy - tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, both hot and sweet. She's had less success with flowers though. I don't have a good picture of her garden by the time things were really thriving but it was like a jungle. Neither my husband nor I enjoy gardening so she must get it from her grandfathers, they both enjoyed it.
