    Bet you are sooo proud. It is really cool to grow food in your backyard. I love to do it. Next year I am putting in a whole garden for my chickens. LOL

    That cucumber is going to have the best taste ever as you grew it yourself - and it's your very first. Well done!! :D

    It's always exciting to pick the first one of the season... and even more exciting to be the first one ever.

    Now that you have picked the first one,, remember to check it daily. They hide from you. They can get behind a leaf and next time you see it,,it will be huge and yellow. Over ripe and bitter.

    Congratulations Tina! It's so awesome and makes one so proud that it's almost sorry to eat the fruit of your own garden. Cucumber pet, anyone? ;)
