#cucumbers
A ney attempt to make Kratktky cucumber growing.
The previous one didn't go as expected and root rott killed the plant.
Now using a 15L paint bucket painted inside with food safe paint and ready to grow some cucumbers.
Going to cover it with aluminum foil to protect from the hot sun and extra UV protection.
Will document the process later.
Ps. I'm tempted to add a solar powered USB airpump to it to make sure it succeed. I know it's cheating, but i just want a lot of cucumbers to pickle for the winter.

My biggest daily harvest ever.
Found another big cucumber hanging from the balcony hiding from my view. So 3 cucurs today (already ate one).
Whoever says having a balcony garden is not worth it, has never tasted a fresh cut cucumber from the plant with the toping of "Dalar" the pesto like mix from Northern Iran with mint, parsley, garlic and salt.
Have to decide what to do with all these tomatoes. Growing much more than personl daily consumption (plus all the ones i snack on during watering sessions).

The balcony is turning into a food forest.
Finally getting the soil i ordered coming tomorrow, which means many more pots of cucumbers and tomato plants and bigger network of wires to let them grow up into the air.
Time to start planning what to do with the ever increasing amount of vegetables!

I am not going to risk it, have bought a bunch of small solar panels enough to power.a USB based air pump while the sun is shining and will start it in an isolated 15L paint bucket instead of the 5L one i used for the tomato
Have aot of work before it is ready, clean, wash and sterilize all the buckets, make a solid holder for 2 small 12V solar panels, add the voltage regulator and acould of left over super caps to make sure I have a little storage.
Make a small box and make it sun, rain and water proof. I may end up going to the dollar store and buy some containers and paint them and cover them with aluminum foil before painting a an uv protective later.
I'm hoping to get a lot of small cucumbers to picke. Will set up 4 system with 4 different solutions to document their diffences and the amount of vegies i get from each (can be difficult because I'm rapidly running out of space on my already crowded balcony.
Let the experience begin!
Started too many cucumbers for the fall.
May advertise and give them away.
