Good thing I went up to harvest the zucchini because I found that the water level was very low in the buckets. I had filled them on Sunday but not enough. I had to do CPR on one of the cucumber plants which was very wilted.
The second cucumber was a bit wilted but not too badly.

Tying the siphon tubes to the bucket using tie wraps was Martin's idea and should keep the tubes in place better to keep the siphons working and avoid future problems (I hope). I have also doubled up on the siphon buckets, to provide more water overall. Whereas previously I had one siphon bucket per 4 plants I now have two for 4 plants.

Thanks for the zucchini, it was delicious! We grilled it and tossed it with pasta, herbs and olive oil.
