Mine never make it to the house if there is only one at the time. I whip out the old trusty "Old Timer" and have it at the garden.
Your's looks great too.

I like them when they come in slow, not all at one time. In that way, we won't have to process them all at once (not yet at least). Chill and prepare them as a small side dish a couple of days in advance - just enough for dinner one night. Keep a rotation of containers going, and you'll have fresh home grown cucumbers ready when you want them. Fresh and crisp:
Before long, they'll come in heavy. Enjoying them in these small batches right now. Like I have said before, what comes out of that garden - the taste doesn't compare what one would find at grocery. Life is good. Thanks for looking.

Looks tasty. I see that you have some seasoning clinging to the cucumbers. Will you tell me what you used?

Looks delicious. We are getting a steady stream too. Got a bowl of them and Vidalia's in the fridge now. What spices you have in there?
Just started getting some myself. I saw a Japanese Cucumber plant when I was buying my plants and I got one to try. That thing is 5 times bigger than any of the others and has about a dozen cukes hanging on it. Already got 3 or 4 off it.
Any of Y'all ever heard of one or tried one?? Taste like regular cukes, just about a foot longer.

We use Winn Dixie brand Whole Pickling Spice, the ingredients listed on the bottle are: black pepper, all spice, bay leaves, cinnamon, and cloves. We add white vinegar, sugar, and water to our taste.
kycreekboy, an excellent idea with the Vidalia's. Thanks.

Our cucumbers start off making what we can eat and give to neighbors, then peak making more than that. When that happens we make the wonderful pickles I put in the other post. We have probably our last batch brining now. They are slowing down now and we had a big tomato and cucumber salad for lunch today
