May 9th-11th 2-022 – Cucs!
This winter’s extreme temperatures (which was nonetheless blessed in many agricultural aspects) brought with it a frost that damaged our cucumber bushes. Though new cucumbers were planted, the cold temperatures persisted. Even when the cucumbers weren’t frosted over, they were greatly influenced by the cold weather, which slowed them down to the point they simply did not budge. Thus, they remained small and struggling. Luckily for us, patience is one of the cucumber’s virtues, in addition to its very impressive growth characteristics. As soon as the weather warmed up a bit, they renewed their growth spurt and quickly caught up.
