Cucumbers and Pickles

All of those cucumbers I planted about six weeks ago have started producing. The Monticello inspired teepees have been working well for supporting the vines, they look really lovely now that they're lush with cucumber and pole bean vines. I have had to train the cucumber vines to grow up the supports. I'm trying to think of a way to improve on this design next year. Last week I started harvesting cucumbers from all three varieties that I'm growing this season. I planted 12 vines of each in hopes of having a large flush of cucumbers for all those pickling recipes that call for pounds and pounds of cucumbers.
