Her Very First Cucumber... Ever!

Posted by Betty (New Jersey, United States) on 20 July 2008 in People & Portraits.

This is a follow up to Jessica's Garden posted on June 13th. Saturday morning she picked her first ever cucumber... and it was delicious, we had it for breakfast! She started this garden from seeds, and it's the very first time she grew vegetables!

Thank you for commenting. I don't always have time to answer, but I really appreciate every comment!

@Ron: Well, we just had to taste it! Jess was afraid it would be bitter.

Good for you, Jessica ... it looks delicious! In the heat you're having, many more will probably be coming along quickly!

Hahahaha! What a proud farmer she is. That fresh picked cuke must have tasted so very, very good. Congrats to you for the photo, and to Jessica for the cucumber and the smile.

Pure delight and an expression of "I really grew this myself??" Great fun shot Betty. I hope Jessica gets lots and lots from her garden this year. It will cement forever that she has a green thumb. It's kind of a bug one gets, gardening that is. :D
