Here's an update on some of my progress so far. Well, I can't say enough about eBuckets right now!!! I am so thrilled about the results I have seen so far and I am only watering maybe every 4 days or so. Of course, we are not yet into the dog days of summer so I probably shouldn't get too excited just yet!

Anyway, I planted a "Diamant" cucumber plant, which I believe is a bush variety of a pickling type cucumber. I planted a 6" transplant about a month ago and it had one tiny fruit that was set, and you can see it in these pics. Does anyone know how you can tell when it is time to harvest? Should the cuke just "snap off" the vine with a gentle twist? I don't know, but it looks good and the DTM is 47 days.

Also, how would you feed this plant from now on? There are about five more fruit that are growing right now. Thanks everyone.
