Summer vegetable
I planted cucumbers and tomatoes in our garden this year. Cucumbers were in trouble every year because of powdery mildew. So I planted a seedling that was said to be resistant to this disease. This was strong against diseases, but the cucumbers did not grow very well and died quickly.

Tomatoes are still producing some fruit, but it is disappointing. I'm thinking that maybe the series is bad.

When we went to the DIY store the other day, cucumber seedlings were on sale. It was stated on the label that it can be harvested from the end of September. I bought two seedlings because Mom 

wanted it. When I planted it in our garden, the leaves of the seedling were eaten by insects, and the growth was poor.
