The red shape hiding in the corner of this photo is a sea cucumber (Class: Holothuroidea), a fascinating creature closely related to sea stars and sea urchins. Like all other enchinoderms, they have an endoskeleton, tube feet, and are radially symmetric (Picture courtesy of A. Lanier, DLCD). For another view, check out this this picture

Pulp Beet Carrot Cucumber Pulp Salad 1of5 by Food Thinkers

Avoiding the use of toxic red food dye is simply a matter of obtaining some of beet liquid. I discovered recently that this juice is quite delicious! Considering how rock-hard they are in their natural state, beets produce a good amount of smooth, mild juice that is great on its own or when blended with carrot and cucumber juice.

Six little cucumber plants that I started from seed went into the ground next to their trellis. One of the plants already has a blossom on it!

2014 Update These stakes last approximately four (4 years). The plastic coating cracks and the thin steel will rust and then break apart.

I would not use them again for this application. I have changed to solid aluminum bars-more expensive but they will last longer and deserve the name "Permanent Stake."

Cucumber is the signature ingredient in the Sean Cassidy Cucumber Toner because just by itself it has been known to be able to help tone the skin. The benefits of cucumber toner are witnessed predominantly in its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. It is used in many cosmetic lotions and creams to lighten the skin, remove excess oil and dirt, and tighten facial skin.

For as fast as these cucumbers are growing, I'm glad we decided to plant them just inside a fence for them to grow onto.

I look at this and think it looks a lot like my mind. Perhaps too tightly wrapped and bursting out a bit...

Inside the Cucumber is a mixture of Shrimp, Carrot, Jicama, Radish and Shallot tossed in a Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette.

Cucumbers and Tomatillos by Stephen Sloan

Here are my cucumbers and their tomatillo neighbors. I planted three per pot and thinned them down to one recently. They seem to be happy so far. I gave each of these guys a tiny bit of Alaska Morbloom liquid fetilizer (0-10-10) today.

This is my homemade cucumber trellis. It is very easy to make and only costs a few dollars. It is much cheaper and stronger than store bought varieties.
