Zuccumber


This years garden we planted 3 varietys of tomatoes, 6 green pepper plants, 10 green bean plants, 2 zucchini, and 2 cucumber. I learn something new every time I plant a garden and this years biggest lesson has been that zucchini and cucumber should not be planted next to each other. The result is giant zuccumbers. The largest is 14 inches long as you can see (the blue stick in the middle is a ruler), and they are thick, really thick. We have so far enjoyed 3 rather large meaty slicing tomatoes and are getting ready to enjoy these 3 roma tomatoes as well as the zuccumbers (once we figure out which is which and if they're edible). We also have a really good crop of green bell peppers that should be ready for picking soon.n Yeah for gardens!

  1. I laughed out loud. Your garden "oops" turns into a new hybrid vegetable, mine turns into bugs and disappointment. You need to move here so you can teach me how to garden. They are hiring teachers in Ali's district. You can live in my storage unit.
