Tonight for dinner we ate this jumbo sized cucumber which was grown in our garden.
I sliced it up and arranged it on a dinner sized plate.
What was nice about this cucumber was that it tasted fresh not old or overgrown.
What’s our secret for huge cucumbers? I would have to say warm sunny days, lots of water and preparing the soil ahead of planting.

Homegrown Cucumbers
This soil was loaded with kitchen waste scrap material–coffee grounds, orange peels, stale bread, etc.
The kitchen waste scraps, in turn, attracted earth worms who made the soil even better.
This summer I’m enjoying my garden harvest. I have had lots of tomatoes which I have already frozen and, of course, jumbo cucumbers. Perhaps I should think about making pickles?
I’m thinking about planting a fall garden.
