Cucumber Cages Build

Today I went and found some old tomato cages and stakes. I flipped them upside down and planted three cucumber seeds in each one.

Then I went to the back garden beds and used three cages for acorn winter squash.

I'll keep everyone update on how they grow. Have a good one!

Cucumber Cages

I saw something online today that I am going to try. I have been going onto for sale sites on facebook looking for wire fencing to make cage for cucumbers.  A guy on youtube named Donald (webcajun) uses cages for cucumbers and has great results. What I saw today was to use a tomato cage and flip it upside down and stake it to the ground and plant my cucumbers in it. I will post pics of the cages tomorrow and show the progress.

Back At It

I got a head start and planted many of my tomato plants in April. I had surgery twice in May and that put me behind. Now I am back on track. I've got corn, okra, cucumbers, watermelons, and squash all in the ground now. I'm not going big on the planting. Just sticking to the basics. We did manage to harvest a few small potatoes today. I am gambling by planting pepper seeds in the ground along with a few tomato seeds and see what they do. You should not be afraid to try new things in the garden.
