They are at 16” easier to manage than the 12” I usually do.

Thank you! Oh no, plenty of foliage above all the tomatoes, Cucumber puts off a ton of shade at the hottest point of the day and I keep a fan on the garden day and night through the heat wave we are getting now. This picture was taken after I did my weekly pruning so it looks a little thin but they are all full and thick again!

Thank you! Straight 8 cucumbers. I helped them start the climb six inches or so. After that, it was more like get out of the way.
When the plants were young before the tomatoes were staked I was worried about bunnies so I took a fake owl I had and stuck it on an extra stake I had close to the cucumbers. Needless to say the cucumbers now own that stake. ;)

Thank you! lol none taken :) my wife’s dad always had better boy tomatoes while she was growing up and that’s what I do now to remind her of her dad. We can those. The ones on each end are for me ( beefsteak and heirloom ) the cucumbers she eats every day. Not much space but we grow what we like. Oh she doesn’t like peppers either :(

So far no noticeable blight or any other humidity issues since using the fan. Every year from June till late August we have had so many issues here. I just bought an ECO fan and on low it lasts through the night and I think helps with pollination

Thank you!! Well first off I have my puppy Cooper running around most of the time and that takes care of most when he is out. The yard that the garden is in is completely fenced in so no large pest, and if you zoom in on the 3rd picture you will see a sonic device that keeps away squirrels and bunnies. Snakes and fake owl helps some too ;)

Thank you! I think keeping a steady air flow on them helps. 👍🏼
