We did not get a single cucumber last year and very few zucchini. This year we have gotten at least one 💕

It probably could of gone a day or two longer but it was crispy and mildly sweet. I see another on the plant that should be ready in a few days.

Some of the other plants look like they have some fruit set too. I think this is marketmore and was a start we bought. I don’t believe any of the seed starts have caught up.

        Pollinated flowers fruit…

        If your plants aren’t fruiting, that’s probably why.

            Considering you consider a single fruit “success.” Really, you should right a book, professor.

              Do you know where I am growing? Do you know how many days since last frost I am and when these were planted? Did I give any details of why there were no fruit last year? Or do you just like making unhelpful comments with elementary school knowledge of gardening to make yourself feel good?

              It’s the first harvested fruit of the season. I am considering it a success because it’s a better growing season than last year, and I am choosing to be grateful for everything that goes “right” in the garden.

              I have no idea what causes people to be negative and grumpy around gardening especially when others are sharing their joy, but I hope you figure it out. Gardening is a happy place for me and maybe it will be one day for you too.

    very few zucchini

    I was not under the impression such a thing was even possible!

    All jokes aside, it’s a wonderful feeling when last year’s dud is this year’s success. May the cucurbit gods continue to smile upon you.
