Starting to get some harvest!!

Thought I would share...have had something to harvest every day for the last few days, mostly Zephyr Hybrid summer squash (7 squash already on 1 plant!), Golden Egg zucchini, Cherry Punch and Husky Cherry Red tomatoes, and Iznik cucumbers.

The summer squash is great, the Golden Egg zucchini is good but I let them get too big, they were a little seedy and thick skinned at about 6 inches long, since they are "fatter", I would recommend harvesting at 5" or less. If harvested smaller, I think the flavor wil be excellent!

The cherry punch tomatoes (Burpee) were awesome, great flavor, and will definitely grow them next year. The husky cherry red were ok, but seemed to be thick-skinned, not the worst but probably won't be in the garden next year.

The Iznik cucumbers were AWESOME! Loved them...super prolific, great sweet flavor, crisp, very thin skinned, and no bitterness. No need to peel them at all. I harvested them at right about 4" long and they were perfect, I would say grab them at 3-4" but not really larger. I have 4 plants and there must be no less than 40 or 50 "baby" cukes already...I just seeded for four additional "later" plants and these have definitely won a large, permanent place in my garden.

Will update this thread with more pics as I get them
