Cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and zucchini are here

I spent a week away from DC, and mother nature did not provide a drop of rain during my absence. I was sure that my plants would shrivel and turn a faint yellowish hue in the 90 degree heat. Some indeed did. A few zucchini plants would crumble with the faintest touch. However, my cucumber plant grew about 2 feet and produced two rather large cucumbers in steamy conditions. One shriveled zucchini plant did put forth a nice four inch zucchini. I also had my first cherry tomato last night. My cherry tomato plant seems so small compared to my memories of an overgrown August cherry tomato plant. We'll see what it can produce in the next two months.
