I'm hot! It's 105 and it will be for the next week or so and I am sick to death of it already! Last summer was awful, so hot and it burnt everything up in the garden. Please don't let that happen again. In the meantime, the killer cucumber seems to be thoroughly enjoying this horrible heat. Vines are going everywhere.
I have found two very large, one you would almost call huge, specimums hanging up underneath the foliage. It truly is like Audrey...kind of scares me to go looking for things. It took two hands to pull one of them off the vine. If you notice in the pictures, the vines are crawling right up the fence, taking little notice of the very nice and new trellises I purchased for them at Home Depot.
I will admit both of the monsters were quite tasty. I was a little nervous peeling the first one but the flesh beneath the skin was snowy white...couldn't believe it! No green cast, whatsoever! My next fear was that I would find a big, pithy hole running the length of the fruit but once again, I was proved wrong. Juicy and completely beautiful through and through. I know, I've been a bit hard on my cucumber plant and I'm kind of starting to feel bad that I've made fun of her. I guess as long as she keeps producing, I'll let her run all over the place. Now...where did I put that pickle recipe?
