Brown Uzbeki Cucumber
This is really one of the nicest cucumbers we grew this year. It is a slicing cucmber (not a pickling one), and it has a really nice crisp flesh and a nice flavor.
Like all heirloom cucumbers it has large seeds. This plant is also not very productive, so if you are only growing one cucumber plant this may not be the best choice. It is a real treat if you have the space for a plant that will only yield a few cucumbers.
Pickles
It’s harvest time for our cucumbers. That means it’s time for homemade pickles!
These are our pickling cucumbers and garlic cloves floating in pickling spices.
Boating Holiday
We just took a boating holiday with some friends in England. We were on the Oxford, Stratford and Grand Union canals.
Among the many locks we passed through were the Hatton flight
Here is the boat we were on
