A friend of mine, Mike Wilkinson, referred me to a grower named Nick at a local Organic Olive Orchard in Suisun Valley in the Fairfield area. He made room for me to grow some cucumbers in the spring of 2023. The area is incredibly fertile and beautiful. He made a row of land available for me to grow on.
Over the season I grew one kind of regular cucumber and two overlapping varieties of cucumber-melon. The season at the Olive Orchard took a lot out of me and by the end, I was pretty tired out.
