A Veggie Tale


We planted cucumbers in our garden this year, but had no luck. The early summer snow storm killed the original starts we planted. After that we took the straight to seed approach. No luck. We even tried buying cucumber plants from the store. No matter what we did, we could not get a cucumber plant to grow. So, needless to say, we haven't had cucumbers all summer.

Today, Dave's brother brought over a sack full of cucumbers from their garden and left us a whole pile. I was so excited!!! Cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies! So, I quickly chopped one up to go with our dinner.

Apparently I'm not the only fan in our family, however. After dinner, I came in the kitchen and discovered Max having his very own cucumber dessert. I guess there really are no rules about how to eat a cucumber. At least he likes his vegetables!
