Some things that I thought were shoe-ins were total duds (ie spinach and radish), and others have been unexpected successes. I hope I'm not speaking too soon...

The bush cucumber on the sunny patio has two little fruits on it and lots of other flowers.

The broccoli is broccoli-ing and looks wonderful! There are 4 other plants like this. But I'm not sure when I'm supposed to pick it.

And here's the zucchini. I suppose I did expect that this would work out, but am delighted that it has none-the-less.

I figure the zucchini is a shoe-in, daughter. I mean your grandfather nicknamed you Zucchini when you were about 2 years old and had your picture taken beside some rather huge zucchinis from our yard in Tsawwassen! Mom
I *think* you don't want to wait to long on the broccoli. It tends to get woody tasting. And if you do pick it now, there's a better chance of getting more from offshoots since it'll want to get back to flower/seed producing.
Our cukes are doing great. We have a lot that look like yours do now, too. :)
