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.

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.

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.
