Try tasting one of the cukes @Sueby. You never know. My figs aren't golf ball size, but the tree is loaded. Keeping my fingers crossed. No, my dahlias never came up. The heat and humidity have made it impossible for me to keep up with the weeding in my "cutting garden," and everything but the zinnias and petunias are getting swallowed up. This morning I took my scissors and cut the poke weed plants that were growing in there. I guess a bird brought those seeds in from somewhere since I haven't seen them around here before. I'm so jealous of your back-eyed susans. The seeds I planted never came up. I bought a plant and just need to decide where to plant it so the chickens won't devour it.
