Summer Dance Cucumber
Summer Dance is a Japanese burpless hybrid cucumber with uniform glossy, deep green fruit. Without a doubt, the best tasting, fresh eating cucumber we’ve ever had in our trials! Produces 9 to 12” long cucumbers. Monoecious flowering habit withwww.veseys.com
Yep I have tried them all and this is the only one that I can get to grow right outside and produces to me as close to an english as I can get to grow hereYour making me feal better acording to the vesey add that 30 cents a seed for those cucumbers but they sure look good almost like an english one, well most of the seed is going in today so we need a few showers soon.
I hear you my friend. Been living on Aleve for 9 weeks now. take them until my stomach starts to burn stop for a few days and double my nexium and then start againI put 5 hrs in today hand tilling..weeding..sifting ..emptying ..filling and planting some of the garden beds. I only hurt from my ear lobes to my ankles !!!! Rest of me is great !! Lmao
Joe my man you gotta use technology to your advantage, i got me a few timers for watering the garden at whatever time i want. I set up a system of hoses on splitters and timers on each line, the main line stays on then each line can water according to the schedule i set up. 1,2,4,8,12 times a day by 15min increments.I hear you my friend.

Six hours now is an average day for me now. The ones from sun up to sun down are gone with a lot more breaks than the past but the work gets done eventually as one can see. , Started with 200 bags of that dam soil and now may have 30 left. That alone would kill the average bear moving and mixing all that by hand. The watering alone takes hours and I have the 900 baskets on drippers. It would be days if they were hand watered
My poor mrs lasts now about 2 -3 hours and her bad knees sends her into the house so this year most of the load is on me alone
I get everything set up for her and just run with the flowers she wants and place pots in front of her to do and lug them away so she can sit on a stool
Every day someone comes in and says oh you are so lucky I would be in my glory doing this so relaxing and fun
Ya right lady if you only knew. Real fun out watering the 1500 pansy's I have outside at 4.00 today so the frost will not burn them
Take care
Joe
I am about as advance as I can be TimJoe my man you gotta use technology to your advantage, i got me a few timers for watering the garden at whatever time i want.

I have the greenhouse set to water 6am/pm for 15min, the outside garden gets 4am/pm x30min, the flowers out front love the 8am sprinkler. And i can know i can go away and things will be fine.
My entire setup was less than $100 so its worth the bucks to invest to me
hooked up rain barrels/tote to the house downspout a few years back - works great if you get them elevated a bit above what youre watering.Great if you have a well that can handle it..we don't.
