cucumbers.......

[Noodles]

One of my cucumber plants has produced a cucumber like this. It does look very odd! Not ready to pick yet though so can't comment on the taste.

The Victorian gentry actually grew their cucumbers inside glass tubes so that they grew straight (or their head gardeners did for them). I've often wondered who the grandparents of the European Commission were.

This one again - some cucumbers need pollinating and some shouldn't be. Check what type you have before you remove male flowers cos if you get it wrong you won't get any fruit. These ones are Burpless Tasty which is one of the ridge type that require the male flowers.

Thank you - I consider myself enlightened - sorry for my confusion

I have a curly one thats looking like a spring - only found it today.

Very odd. Hopefully will be as long and fat as the one I've just collected from the plant.
