All my cucumbers are like tuna cans. Okra doing decent as is my squash. Only found one borer this year. Tomatoes like others have mentioned, played out aside from the golden cherries and the Phoniex. I'm not sure what's eating all my bell peppers and marconis. But it's getting very frustrating. They start turning and then they are attacked.

Planting another row of okra this weekend, purple hulls and some more bells. Going to build some cages out of 1/2" mesh and bury around the peppers.

I've had some issue with my pickling cucumbers being more rounded on the stem end and pointy on the flower end and not very nicely shaped.

My slicing cucumbers are doing pretty good with nicely shaped cucumbers, but some are thinner than others and look more like the English Cucumbers you see in stores.

I picked a slicer today that got lost in the foliage and that thing was huge, but still good, much to my surprise when I cut it.

All the rain we've gotten the past few days again has my garden like a bog. I had to pick okra today and that required me to walk between rows and I was sinking past my ankles in the muck.

Won't need to water for at least 10 or more days if it stops raining today.
