Overnight cucumbers! 48 hours ago, this section of the garden was only dirt. 24 hours ago, suddenly seedlings. They're even taller than the photo now - growing 1-2 cm a day, which is unreal. First time veggie garden so I don't know if this is normal for cucumbers, but it sure is exciting.

There are also twice as many seedlings as 24 hours ago. These things are unstoppable. I'm already glad I got the compact kind.

@ldottxt idk if you get slugs in Texas but I always put coffee grounds around my seedlings to keep slugs away.

@MsHearthWitch my partner also uses crushed up eggshells around the base. Keeps them away, and has the bonus of adding some calcium to the soil as they compost away.
