A Look at the Lemon Cucumber

Hooray, they are alive!


And what's that peeking out from under a big floppy leaf?

Quick, turn into a cuke!

Originally I grew some from seed and then transplanted them to the raised beds.  This result was pretty sad, and they died.  I replanted them with store-bought ones, and they languished for a long time, but lately they are suddenly hitting one growth spurt after another.


Hit me once... hit me twice!


The way that these little vines shot out overnight reminded me of the beginning of "Toxic Love" in Ferngully where Hexxus comes out of his slime form and grabs two poles.

(see segment from 0:14 to 0:21)


What??  They really did spring out like that.
