Cucumbers, Anyone?

cucumbers from my garden‘Tis the season for cucumbers… fa la la la la la la la la! Those four HUGE cucumbers that you see sitting in my kitchen sink came from my garden not mere minutes prior to taking this picture! It’s amazing how FAST cucumbers grow - because I was just out there two days ago and they weren’t big enough to be picked yet - and now just LOOK at them! Amazing what a day of rain can do to those cucs! They literally grow inches overnight - so BEWARE the cucumbers and make sure you check on them every day, because they may very well surprise you!

As it stands.. I have cucumbers growing outta my ears! I think I planted too many this year - going by the cucumbers-in-waiting that are still out there on the vine? I have enough to keep the entire neighborhood in cucumbers from now ’till Christmas! Fa la la la la la la la la!
