Lemon cucumber parade!

Lemon cucumber parade!

Ok…two garden posts in a row. Deal with it.

I have something yummy to share…it’s the Winner of the 1st Annual UFO Garden MVP, one of the most coveted prizes in ufo gardening :) During over 15 years of gardening, I have had problems with growing cucumbers in this area. They grow fine for 1-2 months, then they wilt from a pesky fungus carried by the cucumber beetle. I try not to do too much to kill off bugs…except these guys.

This little lemon cucumber from Gardens Alive! is an amazing little plant. It resists the fungus that usually kills the more common varieties, but this guy keeps on rolling. We get about 20 of these little guys a week, and if you pick them really early, not only do you get sweeter fruit, but the vines produce so many more of them.

Really dig this plant. Enjoy =|>
