Well yesterday, I was under the impression that I'd have to wait until next year to get a second chance for a ripe cucumber.
I was wrong.
You see, early in the season, my cucumber plant was growing in such a way that I was stepping on it. It was making it difficult for me to water my tomatoes. And to use my grill.
So I "encouraged" it to grow in a different direction. I "helped" the tendrils wrap around my planter and eventually between the slats of my deck rails.
I kept leaning over to see if there were any flowers. I didn't think so.
Again, I was wrong.
I looked down yesterday, and there was a full grown (yet still unripe) cucumber hanging down!
I am very excited!
I can even see it as I walk my dog.
Okay, enough about cukes.
Kristen out!

So how will you know when this one is ripe? How did the other cuke taste after you fixed it up?
Well, the cucumbers I buy at the market are always greener than mine have been...yet. I'm pretty sure it should be a deeper shade of green.
And it still tasted bitter.
