Fav of the week!




Home grown cucumbers! My vegetable garden has been a mixed bag of passes and fails. My greatest pass thus far has definitely been my cucumber plant! I strated it from seeds and it took off right away. I transfered it to the raised bed, only to have it out grow every other plant and start attaching itself to the lawn. It reminds me of the plant from Little Shop of Horrors (without the cravings for blood.)

If you want to try planting something this summer I highly suggest cucumbers! Just make sure you have plenty of room, preferably a wall or fence for the plant to climb.  I get about 3 to 4 cucumbers a day, I cant give them away fast enough. Interesting cucumber recipes to come!
