It honestly depends on the kind of cucumbers you planted...I'd assume 10" is plenty ready (I pick some at 6" to 8" and another variety at 10" to 12")...Some can get bigger and not be too seedy (the seeds get harder the larger the cucumber gets)...I'd pick one now and then let one or 2 grow to the size you would consider 'ready' and see which one is better...

Here's the latest addition to the garden. I had to figure out a way to get the chickens from the coop to the side of my house so that they couldn't get to the garden.  Got some bamboo from a friend.  75% of this wood came out of someone's trash.  Put a little gate to close them up at night.

Good job on the early harvest! I'm getting banana peppers, tomatoes and blackberries right now and everything else is looking good. I found a mulberry tree about 3 blocks away and asked if they minded me harvesting them(side of the house).....been there 3x so far and they're awesome my 3 yr old is painted purple.

With all the heat we've been experiencing recently, it is time to start watering early in the morning or late in the evening...You will also need to increase the watering time to help keep the plants from burning up...
If it don't start raining in Northeast Texas soon I'm gonna lose my corn (or have a $100 water bill).

I just built my wife a nice flower bed in the front yard. How do I keep my labs out of it? It's in the shade with fresh tilled dirt so they want to lay in it. They have mashed all of her newly planted flowers and dug.
How can i keep them out?????

Another question. Just picked up a soaker hose.
I want to use it on squash, tomatoes and corn. How long (in minutes or hours) do I leave it for each species? Getting pretty dry.
