We've harvested several cucumbers of this size from a plant in our backyard. They have so much more flavor than store-bought cukes.
On Cucumber Lane
I remember
One dark November
I met a young gal
Who come walking along
But she dint stay long
Cos the wind it wus strong
And arter she'd gone
I dint never see har again

I was waiting for the snow that was forecast - but it hasn't arrived yet, so I tried water splashes instead.
This is one of my first attempts.
VERY delicious Armenian cucumber. This one is called Serpent. We are growing another variety, Pale Green. These are actually a type of cantaloupe and mature to a elongated tan fruit about 5 inches in diameter. When still long and narrow, like here, they have a light cucumber flavor - delicious in salads and sandwiches.

This is a cucumber plant, just before the flowers are getting ready to bloom, and about a month before any cucumbers will appear. The tendrils are so interesting.
We've harvested probably seven or eight so far this year. They've all been delicious.
I Don't know what it's called, but we take a cucumber slice it up and an onion and slice it up. Put them into a bowl Cover with a little white vinegar add a little sugar to taste and let it sit for a few hours in the refrigerator. It is a sweet taney summer treat try it sometime you'll love it.
Two Indian Cucumber (Medeola virginiana) plants - nice examples for whorled phyllotaxy. They get their name from having been used as food by Native Americans. Their crisp rhizomes are edible and taste indeed like cucumbers and can be used in similar ways. They're flowering all over the forest floor right now. While they are abundant here in the Appalachians, they are considered endangered in Florida and Illinois.
I have a bunch of old slides around. every once in a while I try something new like melting and freezing to see what it does to the film emulsion. This was a fun one.
Cucumber-Tarragon paired with 1st Course: "Scallop"
This first non-alcoholic drink pairing surprised me. First, it was savory - slightly saline. Second, I was impressed with how prominently and well-balanced both the cucumber and tarragon stood out. Lastly, the flavors were very clean. The drink (as all subsequent drinks) was served from this novel "carafe" (I was told it was from Japan) which had a little cavity for keeping ice separate from the drink liquid to prevent dilution. Oh those Japanese - they think of everything. And pretty too!
