@ThommesM: So far the cukes that have performed the best for me is Market More 76. I want to try a couple of others though that I heard about on this forum. I also read about string trellising them with only a main stem until they are about 6-7' tall them allowing them to trail back down over a bar with a second stem allowed. (Elliot Coleman again)
Don't you grow onions? I had good success winter sowing them last year about this time. I ate the last of them today, sigh....We are in the same state and Zone so it will be interesting to hear about how you are doing with your garden! No potatoes? Sweet potatoes?
