Here's a photo diary from the first day of August.
1 - A cucumber twin. I wonder if it will taste twice as good?
2 - Here's a small portion of this week's haul from my community garden plot. Don't let your Armenian cukes get away from you — they grow fast.
3 - As a follow-up to my earlier post about the nutritional benefits of verdolagas, I went hunting for them. And I found tons of them in my own backyard, thanks to the monsoon rains.
(My co-workers assure me that these are indeed verdolagas, also known as purslane. I guess I'll find out this weekend when I cook up a batch.)
4 - The gem corn is coming along. The sweet white corn should be sprouting in a day or so.
5 - Free cuttings from my neighbor. Does anyone know what that is in the foreground? Does it like sun or partial shade?
