I post a variety of things here and I take lots of photos to document what I see at any moment and share some of those.

The first cucumber and a very large primo vantage cabbage.

The first cucumber of the year that might be pollinated. It is a 'Muncher' cucumber or cross from saved seeds... or a Similar one with new bought seeds.. Burpee burpless beauty maybe? The OG munchers didn't produce much seeds so I brought some new ones into the mix. I did not plant any Marketer cucumbers or saved seeds from this year because they are heavy nutrient dependent and or just die out after producing a few rounds, or maybe they just don't like the heat.

A very large cabbage growing in a raised bed. It's light green colored on the head with the outer leaves spread out and darker green. It's spread over half the bed width so more than 2 feet and probably closer to 3 ft.

I just saw a huge falling star going southeast. Like bright enough, I thought it was a firework dropping out of the sky at first. The general direction towards Boise, Idaho.
