Cucumbers, Climbing Squash Plants, Fruit Tree Pests

Below is a photo of the cucumbers I picked yesterday, with some of the tomatoes we picked at the same time.  We got some LONG cucumbers.  At the bottom are two Natsuhikari - our first of the season.  Then a ribbed Suhyo TK, then the tomatoes, then several Summer Dance cucumbers - not all as perfect as they usually are.

We've had a spider mite invasion of several of our stone fruit trees.  Today I sprayed the Heavenly White Nectarine tree pictured below with a jet of water.  Much to the consternation of our dog, Maggie.  The tree is due for some extra pruning this summer.  It's currently losing a few leaves due to the mites.  Hope rinsing off the leaves gives predators of the mites a chance.  They're very difficult to control with insecticides.   You can see one of F's winter squash plants climbing the tree.  He planted several of them where they would tend to overtake our plants.
