Clearly nature has a sense of humour and wants to teach me a lesson. Today I picked 3kg, Yep, thats 3 KILOgrams of the b*ggers. Now I like cucumbers as much as the next woman, but come on...3kg ! This is all from the one plant mind you. What's more, there looks to be another 2-3 kg hanging on the vine ripening away.
Needless to say I spent some time in the kitchen peeling and slicing and salting in preparation for ANOTHER batch of cucumber pickles. On the bright sideat least they are my favourite variety (apple cucumbers), although not the best for pickling in slices, so I cut them into wedges
Oh and Jerry dear - cucumber will be on the menu for the foreseeable future!

That's the problem with growing your own, sometimes you just get way too many and don't know what to do with them.
I want to make fermented cucumbers. I have heaps of whey, so will be making them in the Nourishing Traditions style. That's if I can bot a few off you; I didn't have a vegie garden this year :(
