Some may have doubted my ability to grow cucumbers in a small pot, but I have proof it is possible. Granted, they are very small cucumbers, and they show no sign of increasing in size, but they are definitely cucumbers:
Yeah, I’ll never be a gardener, will I?
(Yes, the picture is sideways – I took the photo this morning, but didn’t realise until now that I’d put the block up the wrong way. So rather than try and re-photograph it in the less than ideal light now, I just rotated the photo, even though it looks weird 🙂 ) Anyway, Buzzard done. …
