Garden Harvest

WE HAVE CUCUMBERS!
I easily pick 3 to 5 every day.
I've given them to relatives, neighbors and co-workers.
I've made salads and salads and salads.
What else you wonder could you do with cucumbers?
Soup, yup done that.
I've pureed them and made cucumber cubes to toss in soup this winter.
My favorite is Cucumber limeade.
Puree a couple of peeled, seeded cucumbers, add 1 1/2 cups cold water, juice from one lime, 1/2 cup sugar (I used maple syrup) and 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and crushed ice. Very refreshing.
I planted herbs in and around the veggies and flowers.



This year I planted scarlet runner pole beans.
Very pretty red blossom and huge beans I believe I leave on to dry.
