  • My first EVER CUCUMBER!!!

    Here is a picture of my first ever cucumber.
    It is a tasty burpless green variety.
    I attempted them last year but a slug ate the early shoots and I mistakenly re-planted with courgette seeds - doh!



    I would have let it grow a bit more but when I went to check them this morning it had fallen off the 'vine'(???).
    It was grown as part of 2 plants growing in a standard 12" tub trug trained up a metal frame.

    I'm very proud of myself

    p.s. I put down a 50p for comparison. Is that the standard way of measuring on here???

        The 50p is good for scale, thanks. Looks good and a good big one (oor er missus!), I tend to pick my first few smaller than that cos I just can't wait

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

          Well done - I picked my first one today too - should have taken a picture, I will of the next one!

          I know this sounds stupid, but I was really surprised to cut it open and see it looked like a cucumber - I did it myself

                Congratulations, fantastic feeling - just wait till you have so many you're wondering how quickly you can possibly eat them. . . it won't be long!
                Life is too short for drama & petty things!
                So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!

                          Congrats! I've had 4 so far and lots of babies! What a contrast to last year when I only got 1 off 2 plants!
