Hidden amongst the leafs of my vegetables plants, I found this little cucumber. It has become the first harvest from the plants I have on my balcony.

The cucumber on a plate to show it's size.

Me, enjoying my cucumber. It really tastes better than any cucumber I bought.

Thing are overall going great and my balcony is looking nice. Most of the flowers from Project Summer flower 2009 have been moved to their permanent pot and spot and some new flowers have moved in. Unfortunately most of my photos on the balcony didn't turn out that great, but I don't feel like reshooting them so I'm using them anyway. I want to post this little report as soon as possible.

In the upper half of my shelf I now have three French Marigold and two new flowers. The two new plants are both birthday gifts. The plant with the blue flowers is a Hydrangea and the one with the yellow flower I don't know what it is.
