Not a cucumber!

Seems like all I ever blog about is my garden. I love to tinker around outside and plant things and then watch them grow.   I had pretty good luck with my tomatoes and my zucchini seemed to multiply over night.  I wanted to try my luck with cucumbers this year so I purchased a 6 pack of already sprouted cucumber seeds.  I planted 3 in one garden box and 3 in the other so they would have lots of room to grow.  It wasn't long until I noticed lots of tiny cucumbers. They were doing really well, I mean REALLY well.  I mentioned to my kids that the cucumbers were getting really big and soon they looked like this.
Today I picked my first cucumber.  This is what it looked like.  You never know what those little seeds will produce.
