Midsummer garden report: Harvest of black raspberries is underway. The canes made a lot this year. Harvest of japanese beetles is also underway. (I just drown them in a mixture of dish soap and water.) There are a lot of them this year, too. Tomato plants have set some fruit, which is way not-ripe-yet. Hot peppers have set some fruit, also way-not-ripe-yet. Cilantro is flowering and going to seed. Zuke plant has one small zuke on it.

Big healthy cucumber plants have producted two (2) cucumbers, one harvested too soon and one a monster whopper. All other female flowers are sitting there looking virginal and pretty until old-maid-dom sets in.

Cukes are a bee-pollinated plant.

Human-pollination experiment on one of the two plants starting as soon as I get up off my ass and find a paintbrush.
