New #cucumber plants are really taking off, now! 😄

Starting to get their first proper #cucumber leaves.

Cucumbers take #2. The first lot died from too much rain. I can't actually see into this hanging basket without climbing up, so I pointed and hoped when taking this picture. Felt lovely to see the little plants on my screen! 😊

I put some new cucumber seeds in. I used a hanging basket so I could put them against the back wall of my garden. The wall gets very warm and basically makes a "summer" micro-climate where summer crops will have a chance, even in autumn.

@latebloomer I first saw them last night. Very exciting! 😄

I've had to give my cucumbers a stake to keep them off the other plants. 😂

I expect fruit any day now. (no, not really) 😜😜

The older cucumber 🌱 is getting its first "true" leaves. ☺
