Following the aphid infection, my cucumbers didn’t recover as well as I would like. I trimmed a lot of leaves off to prevent the disease from spreading, that appears to have stunted the plant. I have two cucumbers that aren’t growing much. Maybe next year.. My corn and tomatoes are doing amazing though! The corn stopped growing at about 6 foot (some are smaller), which was attributed to the bush blocking the sun during the first few stages of growth. I have about 25 ears of corn 
. My tomatoes are going insane! My early girl tomato plant is covered in tomatoes! I am not really sure why my big beef doesn’t have any yet. The hot weather just broke loose around here so i’m hoping the bees get to all the flowers on the plant.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week temps in the 80′s and sun come back! My corn, cucumbers and tomatoes are doing really well. I have a twice weekly watering schedule. Tuesdays and Fridays. When the 80 degree weather comes back, the soil should be nice and warm and the watering schedule will allow for a really good produce to grow!
