Its a courgette not a cucumber.

Eh? Water melon you say?

I planted them direct sown about 2 months ago here in Mo. I planted about 20 or so seeds but the chickens ate all but 3 seedlings.

This post is here, too? We don't get courgettes on this side of the Atlantic.

It`s definately a cuke!

I LOVE cucumbers...but prefer them on the small side. When they get really large, the seeds get large as well.

BTW...that's a pretty well-thumbed book you got there.

That looks like a courgette.
You will need to post a bigger pic for me to
be sure, though.

My cucumbers are starting to produce... but my tomatoes won't produce much, since the nights are ALWAYS under 55 degrees here!

I've got monster matoes already. Peppers are their way too.

Here in Fl the growing season is pretty much over until September. Its too hot and humid for both cucumbers and tomatoes. On the plus side we get to start planting vegetables in February and we do get a spring and a fall growing season. On the down side, we have about 5 more months of 90+ temperatures - I would love a few nights below 55.

[pond boy]

[Spectabilis73]
