As part of the optional tour to Stillwater, about 30 attendees of the Garden Writers Association 2007 conference visited the studio gardens of Oklahoma Gardening, a TV program that airs on Oklahoma public broadcast stations.

Slice the cucumber

They're about 7-8 cm long, apparently these are eaten when 10-12 cm long, so we shouldn't have to wait for much longer, I'd hope! Can the weather please just warm up now?!

by Shunsen Ooka (1719-1773), included in Ehon Fukujuso (Adonis Picture Book) – Japanese picture book published in 1755

With luck I'll get some cucumbers out of this plant before the caterpillars eat it.

marinate:

seedless sliced cucumbers

mince parsley

pepper strips

red onions, thin sliced

Heat cider vinegar with salt, pepper, sugar to taste

Pour over the vegetables

Baby persian cucumbers, sliced and ready to eat. YUM!

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.

Cucumis sativus

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.

Cucumber chips topped with poke sashimi served with a wasabi vinegarette.

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.

Catering sample. Shown with curried chicken lettuce wraps and cranberry cream cheese turkey on pumperknickel

I found one open blossom on one of the cuke plants today and saw several other buds on other plants.

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.
