This afternoon I took a closer look at my Lebanese Cucumber plants and discovered to my surprise that I have quite a mature cucumber on my larger plant, measuring 12cm long!
It has little spikes all over it, and I'm wondering whether the spikes fall off when the cucumbers are fully matured, or whether they're just 'despiked' before they appear in shops? Obviously I've never grown cucumbers before.
When I looked at the flowers on the rest of the plant, they appear to have little cucumbers ready to take off between the flowers and stalks:
v. cute.
I also have pictures of the only two lettuces that survived the snail attacks when they were babies (note the space around them filling with weeds - that's how many I planted and lost!):
And my relatively more successful spinach:
Eee! Dear little things!
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether to pick it or not. What should I do Mary?
