Unusual Vegetable

Several years ago, we started growing a vegetable that I have heard very little about. It looks like a lemon, but it actually is a cucumber. It has a much milder taste than a normal green cucumber, and it’s compact size makes it perfect for a snack. Sometimes I want to make a salad just for me, and most cucumbers are too big for just one person. This little cucumber is perfect!

So if you’re feeling a little adventurous or even just a little curious, you might want to try a lemon cucumber!

Garden Update

While I was away on the trip, my husband stayed at home and took care of things. His hobby is gardening. The produce began coming in and has not stopped. Here are pictures of some of the things that we have right now.

Cucumbers and Squash
Red and yellow tomatoes, potatoes, peppers
Onions and potatoes

We have already shared at least this many onions and potatoes with other friends and family members. We’ve also given away some squash.

Usually, we have many more beans: green, lima, and purple hull. For some reason, the beans have not done well this year. The weather stayed cooler for much longer than usual and it has been raining almost daily. Every year is an adventure!
