Frankencumber
This is the cucumber that I picked from the garden last August. It's an open pollinated, heirloom type, but I don't remember the name. I grabbed it and brought it into the house because is was such a fine specimen that I was going to save it for seed and didn't want the frost to get it. Now it's January and I'm thinking it's time to harvest those seeds. It's been sitting on my counter the whole time and I'm just amazed that it didn't start turning yellow until a week ago. Hasn't rotted yet, either.
On a totally different subject-I was walking back from the sheep pen yesterday when I took a good look at the wheelbarrow in my way. Last summer I threw empty paint cans in it and then some baler twine. Well, then it rained and froze and voila!! a work of art. :)
Maybe my eye for beauty is a little off. I guess you just have to be there.
Have a blessed weekend.

That cuke will make some awesome seeds for this year's garden...I can't hardly get used to saying this year like that yet...it still seems like the garden will be next year I guess...
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
One question: How cold is it in your kitchen? (Hahahaha!)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly see some artistic works in galleries and even museums that make one . . . um, wonder. So I have no trouble seeing the beauty of your "Wheelbarrow and Contents" work of art!
Affectioknit-Garden planning is well under way. Wouldn't it be so cool if those seeds all produced cukes like the one on my counter?
ReplyDeleteMama Pea-Just because there's frost on my bedroom walls...
The wheelbarrow is tipped up waiting for those warm days next week when the ice will melt and the contents hopefully fall to the ground.
Update on the wheelbarrow art-Last weekend with the warm temps, everything fell out of the barrow onto the ground.
