Cucumbers! Glorious Cucumbers!

Wanted to tidbitz about our garden cucumbers! They are wonderfully maturing! They have beautiful yellow flowers, just prior to blossoming into bittidz cucumbers. We have both the sliced and the bush pickle variety. You can see the pickle jars beside the bush pickle type. Hmmmm. maybe I will pickle this year! We have never endeavoured to grow pickles before; however, it has been an interesting journey; and one we will enjoy doing again.

Our cherry tomatoes are well over 6 ft in height; and the blooms are expansive and massive! Have no tid of a notion as to how many we will have. Without a bit of exaggeration, there could be about 400 tomatoes from the 4 "beanstalk" plants.

Our other herbs are luscious as well; and our "regular" flowers are busting and bursting forth with energetic colour and vivacious health.

Tidbit - Appreciation is the key! Be thankful for what you have! There is "something" quite "down to earth", about having your own 'home grown produce' and fresh flowers; be it in a huge garden, or in a bit of a tid patio (like ours).

Bittid - It is a major plus if you live in a part of the world, where you can readily grow your own flowers and fresh eating herbs. Many areas do not even have the nuturing climate, let alone enough rainfall to support and sustain life.

Eventually, when we purchase a digital camera, I will LOVE taking photos. I will apologize to you, in advance for all the pictures! LOL.

As I was closing off, a thought just hit me. "Cool as a cucumber" - that is so very true. We are in a "waiting" mode, as eluded to, this am. Well, better to be calm and cool; rather than not; because that does not really solve things. We are just going to be patient; but will gladly make the best of what there is; and to be thankful for what we have, at the same time. 'They' say; " take time to smell the roses"...well, check out the cucumbers! Quite the unique flower / veggie. don't you think?
