Whatd'ya mean I'm late?!?

So ummmm.... if you've got your finger on the pulse of Western PA agriculture/gardening you know that you and most everyone you know is BURIED under a mountain of cucumbers.  Except me. For my name is Johnny, Johnny Come-Lately.  Took me a few weeks past the normal planting date to realize that I had no cukes in the ground.  Welp, better late than never. These are a theoretical 2-3 weeks from setting fruit and harvest.  If I was all tricky like, I'd say I planned it this way and did it to take advantage of the warmer than usual pattern we'd been seeing and KNEW JUST KNEW that I could plant them late and harvest them long after all other producers had succumbed to powdery-mildew and other such cucumber killers.  We'll see how that works out for me.
