C is for Cucumber

Today’s blog post is brought to you by the letter “C”. 

I got kind of a late start with my cucumbers.  So while my tomatoes are going gangbusters, my cucumbers are just getting started. 

My favorite thing about cucumbers? (Well besides their cool, crunchy wonderfulness.)

Curly-Q’s!!

So apparently, curlicue is the “official” spelling of Curly-Q.  But no matter how you spell it, they are just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my garden.  I love the way they twirl and spindle around my garden fence.  Well that and anything else they can wrap their cute little tendrils around.

How about a cute curlicue collage.

So while I was down on my hands and knees taking pictures of curlicues I happened to spy the emerging leaves of my cantaloupes.  And I was utterly delighted to see a tiny little ring of water droplets circumnavigating the outer edge of each leaf.

Cantaloupe condensation perhaps?

Clearly.
