For the past 2 summers now, Aruna and I have been trying to grow cucumbers on our patio, and for some strange reason we never got any to grow to full size ( or any size for that matter)...but this year, it finally worked...YAH! I made sure that the type of seeds that i purchased were of a smaller variety so that the large tub we would be using was enough for its root system. Now the first couple a cucumbers that grew were fine, but the next bunch were all mis-shapen, but we didnt care, as they still tasted fine in our salads!

Well, pretty impressive from a bucket on a narrow porch. My tomato plants have the usual wilt (leaves turn yellow and then die off), but I doesn't seem to affect the tomatoes which continue growing while the plant appear (is?)dead. They are each the size of an American softball.
