Cucumbers


I planted three cucumbers from seed. I didn't know what variety they were, only that Doug Shaw provided some extra seeds. I planted them in the strawberry bed because I had a bit of space and didn't know how they would spread. I should have put them next to a trellis. They have started producing. I picked a bunch today, more than in prior days. I see plenty of small cucumbers on the vine, so this may be a regular harvest for a while. We've got to figure out what to do with them. They are pretty clearly right for pickling although we have also been eating them with a mixture of rice vinegar and a little sugar.
