Cucumbers

The first cucumber is up!

My concern is that they prefer to be climbing on something before producing the fruit, and that space is kind of limited this year.

This particular cucumber is an heirloom, so I need to save the first one for seeds - but after that I'm pickling to my hearts content. Actually I do need to find some other use for cucumbers than the typical cucumber salad (salt, vinegar, onions). It's been a staple for the past four weeks since we get at least one cucumber from our Co-Op share.
