Cucumber is the main ingredient in the toner because of all the benefits especially how it helps the skin tone and pores. Cucumbers make a great salad base since they are very adaptable in flavour. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of eating leafy greens and want a less.

This is a monster cucumber! I am eating it right now and let me tell you it is very juicy and yummy!!! I am sure there is much more to come! I definitely suggest you stop your complete dependence on supermarket produce and try growing your own!

Galen Labs toner is designed to complete the cleansing process, leaving the skin balanced and calm. Water being the last thing to touch the skin after washing can leave the skin with a higher pH than is desirable. The use of toners and the correct hydrosols restore the proper, acidic pH to the skin. This prevents over production of oil and skin cells that is typically seen with use of traditional astringents and toners. This toner is appropriate for all skin types. This toner may be used with a cotton ball to remove deep dirt and makeup.
Week 5 - Lots of foliage growth but unfortunately there are signs of early powdery mildew on some squash leaves, which I've pruned off.
The Ambrosia cantalaupe and Burpless cuke are supposed to be resistant to this disease...keeping fingers crossed.
Dunno about the Boston Pickling cuke. It had set many tiny cukes that seem to be dying off. Pollination issue?
Lessons learned:
1. Install a sturdy trellis (like PVC rails and netting) soon after transplanting
2. Only grow veggies that are disease resistant, especially to powdery mildow, which can be contracted easily through airborne spores or insects
3. Watering twice a day might be necessary after week 4
4. Install an automatic watering system when there are more than 2 EBs
5. Growing 4 cucurbits in 1 EB (as suggested by EB) might be too crowded
A wild cucumber (echinocystis lobata). This is a bit of a cheat, as it was originally on the ground, but I hung it up for a less cluttered background. According to the web it is incredibly bitter and not edible.
Squirting Cucumber in the Rock Alpine Garden at the Denver Botanic Gardens at York Street in Denver, Colorado.
Really. These little demons have hair triggers! Brushing on the hairs causes them to explode liquid and seeds all over. They are tricky though. They don't always explode.

With this image, I also placed thinly sliced cucumber and orange on top of a light box in order to gain the best possible ouctome in reference to texture and colour. To edit this image, I used the Cross Process method on Photoshop, but i altered the blue exposure making it lower to give the image a warmer feel.
Tiger-tail cuccumber eating at night. The tentacles come out from the mouth area and grab the sand. It's poop is little pellets of clean sand.
Mix the cucumbers into the dressing. Add salt and pepper as needed after tasting. Serve out some for eating right away, and then put the rest under plastic in the fridge. I find it's best the day after, or at least at dinner, after the flavors have had a chance to meld a bit.
In this case, because of an over-abundance of dressing, I wound up cutting up a couple more celery stalks and the other half of the cucumber to add to the salad. It tastes delicious, but it will be even better tomorrow at lunch.
I highly recommend adding sunflower seeds or other "crunch" to the salad just before serving it to others.

This is from last February, but I found it and love it, so I thought it'd make a good Valentine's preview...!
This cucumber plant in Kim's backyard is growing at an almost alarming pace.
Apparently Miracle Grow is VERY good shit!
I had placed a piece of cucumber from the fridge on top of the rabbit cage to warm up but Ilona didn't think the service was fast enough.
The cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, which includes squash, and in the same genus as the muskmelon. The plant is a creeping vine which bears cylindrical edible fruit when ripe. There are three main varieties of cucumber: "slicing", "pickling", and "burpless". Within these varieties, several different cultivars have emerged. The cucumber is originally from India, but is now grown on most continents. Many different varieties are traded on the global market.
