I found, much like zucchinis, some really well developed ones that were 'hidden'. How can that be? In a pot!!<br /><br />Apart from chucking cucumbers in a mixed salad, I like to have them as a salad on their own, slicing them very thinly with a good pinch of salt and lots of pepper together with lemon juice and olive oil. Alternatively, slice very thinly and dress with soy sauce and a sprinkling of chilli powder - yum! <br /><br />Ninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-71343066712424906042013-01-12T11:19:08.874+11:002013-01-12T11:19:08.874+11:00My snake beans are the heat wave heros.My snake beans are the heat wave heros.Linda Woodrowhttp://witcheskitchen.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3258484059999383214.post-45252120777811293802013-01-12T11:02:24.439+11:002013-01-12T11:02:24.439+11:00Lucky I keep seeing lovely cucumber flower and fru...Lucky I keep seeing lovely cucumber flower and fruit but they don't seem to get bigger than a cm or so.
