Looking to the lowest finger in this picture...you can see I have my first cucumber!
Picture
This is the cucumber plant the rabbits chewed up.  It seems it is recovering from the rabbit's abuse.

I recently planted some more cucumbers and this this shows they are starting to come up.

These are some of my favorite flowers.  Not only are they purple, they don't need much care.  They are called Purple Robe.

I have taken many pictures of this for you.  I don't know what these are called, but I love them.  The blooms are just starting to open.  Once it freezes, this plant turns all brown and yucky and dead looking.  I just break off all the dead stuff and start watering.  I am hoping the bees like this.  This is a bad time for all the bees.  Not a lot of blooms with nectar for them to eat.  Unless you have some herbs planted.  I am learning more and more about bees.  I shall pass it on to you.

While I was outside taking pictures to post with, there was a commotion in the neighbor's yard.  If you look at Bad Dog's back you can see her hair standing up.  She goes all 'Punk' when she's guarding the yard.  Sometimes it is only at the top.  Other times it is only by her tail.  And then the times when she is really upset...it goes all the way from her head to her tail.  It sure makes me feel safe.  I just love guard dogs.  No one sneaks up on me!
