hey captnkirk, glad to join in. Like Anne said, it's nice to have some others to task with during our growing season down here. Most folks are just now finishing up theirs.
My season down in South Dade County runs from Aug 15 when I sow my seeds until early to mid April. By then, the heat and the bugs have beaten me down. During the late spring and summer I grow mostly hot peppers and some melons. I've grown cukes many times (have some seeds that just sprouted) and usually do OK with the hybrids. I've tried a few heirloom types and they don't like me very much.
Yesterday, I had over 6" of rain in less than 2.5 hours. It was really storming. Hopefully, it didn't wash away the fertilizer I'd just recently applied. I'm getting flowers on a few of the plants and rest seem to be close behind. Can't wait to see from fruit start popping.
