Cucs Cucs Cucs!

We all have something each year that grows in excess in the garden.  This year, I think it is cucumbers for me. Considering that in the past I have barely been able to get them to grow...this year is trying to make up for all that.


































This week, I have picked over five pounds of cucs. This one was hiding in the trellis and is a bit larger than I like them to get. The smaller ones have sweeter skins.

I planted three different varieties, but so far the Straight 8's are the only ones setting.

Anyone have a good cucumber salad recipe? (FYI, I am not a pickle fan.)

    My cucumbers are also plentiful this year. Must be the perfect storm for cucumbers. When you say you don't like pickles, do you mean you don't like vinegar? I love this light vinegar cucumber salad.

    There's also a link to one with sour cream in it you might like.

      No, I like vinegar in salad (thanks for the recipe!)....I am just not big on fermented things. I am looking for a cinnamon pickle recipe that does not use pickling lime or alum though...if you know of one.
