I've been so bummed that my cucumber plant [View all]

while it has huge leaves and is taking over as much space as it can to make runners had only the smallest evidence of a cucumber. I was watering it today, and holy smokes, hidden under the big old leaves was a six inch cucumber!

Everything I have seems to be flourishing, and I've never gardened before . I could have done a happy dance when I saw that cucumber, I already have tomatoes and peppers that are growing and obvious as fruits .
