As I was "going to my gemba" yesterday (checking out where the work is done, i.e. the garden), I noticed... Drum roll please... a cucumber! Because I planted so late, and in such poor soil conditions, I had low (no) expectations. As of late I've had lots of show - plenty of foliage, and even some flowers on the squash and eggplant, but no fruit. So imagine my surprise when I discovered a sweet little cucumber tucked away under its foliage, partially covered by a hosta. It was cause for celebration! I CAN grow! I even noticed tiny, tiny fruits behind some flowers on other plants. Calculating for my lateness in getting things in the ground, I'd say my plants are growing right on schedule.
