cucumbers

A couple of years ago, I was looking through a seed catalogue and saw this interesting little cucumber. The Mexican Sour Gherkin. Or “Mouse Melon” because it looks like a tiny little mouse-sized watermelon. They sounded interesting so I tried it and turns out, I love growing them. The vines are very decorative, delicate yet  [. . .]

Lots of cucumbers coming out of the hoop house these days. Homegrown cukes are so tender, crisp and sweet. These are ‘Diva’. They’re my favourites right now for cucumber salad. No need to peel these babies. These are an english cucumber that I tried for the first time this year…it’s ok but not good enough  [. . .]
