Cucumbers, Broccoli and Tomatoes

The cucumber crop is coming in as are the tomatoes!  A nice bunch of broccoli rounds out the harvest!


The Diva Cucumbers are a 2002 AAS winner (All-America Selections) and they are very tasty.  Nice cucumber flavor and not at all bitter.  It is an interesting variety.  Johnny's Selected Seeds in Maine says that the Diva produces all female flowers... and it does not require pollination.  It also says that the leaves are less bitter, so it is less attractive to cucumber beetles!  That is a good characteristic, in my opinion.  

All-America Selections Winners are new garden varieties of flowers vegetables and plants that have been tested and proven to be superior for home gardens. 

Harvested:
2 pounds broccoli
4 cucumbers
2 pounds tomatoes
