...cucumbers

the cucumber vines were weighing down the twine on the trellis so i added a fourth tier of twine and tightened up the guy lines for better support...the plants' tendrils are finding the twine and fastening on with multiple loops of bristly appendages that will not dislodge readily...there are more nascent cukes on the vines and many more blooms today...production is getting under way and by the end of the month there will be succulent vegetables hanging around waiting for a discerning salad maker...more as they develop.
