This is what I found on my counter when I returned. YUMMO! Not sure when they got this big and yummy (maybe it's been too long since I checked on the garden!). Carson's idea for the cucumbers - sell them on the internet. Sigh.
Truth be told, the cucumbers are taking over this bed. I planted twice as many as I usually do since we love cucumbers so much. I tried them in the boxes Perry made last year for the tomatoes, but they've gone EVERYWHERE.
And there are a lot of junior cucumbers just waiting to ripen!
And since I'm actually posting an entry and playing with my new camera still, here's a picture of the asparagus bed we put in this year. Not too exciting this year. We can do a small harvest next year, then a full harvest the following year. CAN NOT wait for that year. (We REALLY love asparagus.)
Any Perry put in a new bed this year which houses the tomatoes and peppers. Lots of flowers and teeny-tiny tomatoes but nothing harvested yet. Nothing better than a simple tomato and cucumber salad.-
If you have any cucumber recipes, please share!

I LOVE cucumbers!!! I like mine best sliced thin, with onions, vinegar and sugar.
I also like the on toast with cream cheese.
Of course, eating plain slices is the best on a hot day!
If you ever want to spare some cucumbers, let me know. We love them here!!
David makes cucumber salad with cukes, red onions, vinegar & splenda. He also makes a Thai cucumber salad. Even Star (our dog) likes them with a touch of salt!
I admit that I miss our veggie garden. David didn't plant anything this year due to his health issues.
Yum! What a beautiful garden!
I love them the same way Sandra mentioned- sliced thin, with onions, vinegar and sugar.
Also, we make a crunchy summer salad with diced/chopped broccoli, green onion, caulifower, and cukes tossed with a ranch dressing- chill for several hours.
