Cucumber Prt 3

ByMaria

This are the cucumber seedlings after my last week’s blog. They developed their true leaves and on their way.
I like cucumbers in salad. I also like it with seasoned vinegar and red onion as a side dish for fish or any meat entrees.
I wll be waiting impatiently for the fruits to come in about a month or so I hope. My seeds was given to me by a garden friend so I don’t have the information I needed to track its growth. All I need to do now is wait and record their progress. I made sure to have the trellis ready for them to cling to.
