Vickie, There might have been cukes at one time. Each time a plant would die I would replace it. In that small raised garden I have had tomatoes, peppers, okra (which is probably what you see) sweet peas, zucchini and yellow squash. Not at one time, mind you. Marigolds help to deter pests. But I like how it looks, too. They died as well. Lack of sun. :sad I got some tomatoes and peppers but that's about it. Next year, I am going to raise it up one more level of cinder clocks and timbers. It will get tons more sun that way and the soil will be deeper. I will keep trying. I love the challenge. Not enough sun is always a challenge in my yard.
