I went over to The Farm today, and the cucumbers were climbing nicely, although they are fighting for space with the tomatoes:
Farmer Tom put in a third bean crop, which is just not popping up:
The second bean crop is doing well:
Farmer Tom also put in some broccoli and spinach for fall harvest, which are just starting to appear. Mostly, it just looks like dirt:
