While there are a few things coming ripe at this point, such as green beans, and a few cherry tomatoes, the main star of the show has been cucumbers. For some unknown reason, I thought I needed like 8 cuke plants. These are spilt roughly half and half beteen "traditional" green slicing cucumbers, and Poona Kheera cucumbers. While I have only picked a handful of the regular cukes, the Poona Kheeras are going absolutely gangbusters.
If you aren't familiar with these cucumbers, they grow in a very pale yellow/green color, but turn brown upon maturing, taking on an almost potato-like appearance.
They are excellent for slicing and eating, and I anticipate that they will hold up well for pickling, which we will be trying out in the days and weeks ahead. Stay tuned.
