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!
