It really feels like it has been raining cucumbers over the past week! Not quite a “glut”, but as there are only two of us it really feels like a large harvest. I’m only growing them out the back this year as I had the fence available to place a trellis for the plants to grow up. This worked at first, but all three cucumber plants seem much happier growing up and around the tomatoes as they got larger. I even found a big one that had been hiding on the ground under the pumpkin leaves. I think some pickling may be in order….

One big cucumber-tomato mess! Oh well, if it works….

No, they’re called “long green”, but they don’t really look anything like what’s on the seed packet…
Good crop!
Goggle bread and butter cucumbers. There are some great recipes and they make great gifts. I have a big crop coming and think the neighbours will be beniftiing. If only the capsicums would do something other than sitting there.
Will do! My capsicums are doing nothing too 😦
Wonderful! My co-worker had an overabundance of cucmbers in his garden last summer and I was the lucky beneficiary. We *still* have pickles in the fridge from them and they are SO good. Congrats on your crop!!
Thank you! 🙂
