Fall Cucumbers

  Because of the extreme heat this summer, our cucumber harvest was virtually nill.  Still hungry for the taste of fresh picked cucumbers I looked up our state extension recommendations for planting cucumbers for a Fall harvest.  Much to my surprise, there was none!  It said cucumbers should be planted in the month of May for a July harvest, and although there was lots of other vegetables suggested to plant for Fall, the cucumber was not one of them.  I decided to ignore what they said and give it a try, All it would cost was the price of a packet of seeds.  I planted at the end of August and this is what I picked today, with many more coming on!  Sometimes you just gotta go with your heart instead of your brain!
