The big news is giant rats (aka deer) came out of the woods, strolled down to my driveway, and pretty much ate half the foliage of my cucumbers.

| Maybe it was more than half :-( |
I've taken some weak measures to keep them away - put up some string and a couple tomato cages to make it a bit more awkward for them. No further devastation last night. Maybe I had them planted too thickly. Maybe the deer-pruning will actually help them? *sigh*
Zucchini is getting very close to getting picked!

| Zucchini numero uno |
Didn't even notice the dead rotting leaf below it or the small weed beside it. So I could be doing things better here clearly. You can see the broken off stem slightly to the left and under it. That leaf was yellowing so I ruthlessly pruned. This years garden theme is pruning!
Zucchino rampicante coming up!
Peppers and Spoon tomatoes coming along nicely!
Roots from a tomato cutting. No real intention of growing this, just wanted to see how it would do if I just set it in a glass with water.
