Water is almost warm enough to swim and the gloom is clearing by early afternoon.

Enjoy your cuke, my friend.

An heirloom variety called "German Sour" -- perfect for a large pot, and producing itty bitty cucumbers about an inch long that look like little striped watermelons.

I haven't tasted one yet. Looking forward to it!

Your lunch sounds delicious.

I still haven't produced any cukes.

That sounds like a salad from heaven

We've picked a lot so far. My daughter made two jars of refrigerator pickles already. They're not Claussen's but they're every bit as good.

There is nothing like a home grown veggie! I'm jealous! ?
