Here is our first cucumber of the season, yum yum!
We have three plants and they're all doing fantastic. Oodles of flowers and climbing the trellis like crazy.
Like most veggies cucumbers have their pests - cucumber beetle. We have the striped ones, which like to hide in the flowers. Of course being insects they're not too smart. In an effort to get away they like to roll off the plant and try to fall to the ground. Cupping one hand under the critter and shooing it with the other and plop right into your hand and with a simply pinch off with it's head!
