Weird Harvest

cukes2

Our garden is definitely winding down, even though we’re irrigating it every day. The weather is just too hot and the plants aren’t happy anymore.

I planted a couple of cucumber plants this year. The plants went nuts, with vines, leaves and flowers all over the place, but no cucumbers!

I finally got ONE last week, and only saw it by accident, sticking through the small fence we have on the north side for climbing plants. We enjoyed it in a couple of salads.

I harvested these today. Talk about weird looking cucumbers! It’s good to know they taste really good, because they sure don’t LOOK like what I expected.

If you have suggestions on something I might add to the Mel’s Mix next time to get more reasonable looking cukes, I would appreciate them.
