Pulled the most egregiously sprawling cucumber plant out of the greenhouse - it turned out to be two, enourmous and totally lacking in fruit, and the extra space seems to have helped things a bit. Tomatos are doing ok - not enourmous looking yields but still alive, despite the tomato moth whose caterpillars were chomping their way through leaf and fruit alike. There's now a single cucumber in the greenhouse, one of the hemaphrodite italian outdoor types, but it now has a healthy number of good looking cucumbers growing on it. The ones outdoors, which snuck onto the squash bed unnoticed, are still doing well - they're small but have delivered a decent number of really tasty decent small cucumbers. There are probably three or four almost ready to harvest atm. Squash are doing very well - something like 10 fruit in total in various levels of growth, but there's the danger of a crappy end to the summer, and even theives, to worry about. One of the plants which didn't really take off turns out to be a guatemalan banana squash, and now has a single fruit forming. I doubt it will make it, but who knows.
