English Cucumber.

need I say more? Darjeeling

A heirloom from Croatia, yet having traveled from a seed collector in Germany to a seed company in the US. These chubby fruits are mild, bitter free and sweet tasting. Another high producer.

Similar shape as the female flower.

This is a Chinese variety, from my hometown. It will grow to as big as the English Cucumber, but with lots of tiny thorns on the skin, and the inside is jade green, very crunchy and sweet. I think it's the best cucumber on earth!

Mr. Q cucumber soda was very cucumbery. World Market.

Part of our lunch at Brest, Belarus

The weather changed from cool rain to late afternoon sun. I found this cucumber beetle looking for a sunset snack.

Intro. by our very own Morden Research Station in Morden, Manitoba in 1956. Longer season producer, short vines, heavy producer of pickling type fruits and excellent for northern gardens.

Cucumis sativus

I think I like all things that smell or taste like cucumbers. Another test shot of cucumber related items in my bathroom! My favorite perfume by Fresh.

The cucumbers have been a little stunted with the rain and lack of sun, but starting to come out nicely now.

When pulling out my spent cucumber vines, I notices nodules on the roots. This could be bad or Real Bad. We'll see.

Cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies. However, i have alway had mix results when growing them. This years crop is liking its position, and looking good so far.

My garden...cucumber climbing lilac bush

Araniella cucurbitina. Aka the Green Orb-weaver spider.

4 to 6mm in length. When seen from underneath the red spot next to its spinnerets help with identification. Found throughout the UK on low growing plants. Seen from April to October.

With thanks to the Natural History Museum's NaturePlus team for identifying this specimen.

blossoming cucumber plant, Cucumis sativus L., Cucurbitaceae

This type of cucumber suppose to have the dark green skin, with lots of little thorns, and still have the dried up flower at the end.
