Welp. The cucumber is VILE. And when I say "vile"? I mean
NONE MORE VILE, BITTER AS BILE... VILE VILE VILE.
Apparently cucumbers like to grow in cooler to moderate temps and are very sensitive to heat and like constant to moderate moisture. And it shows. I'm not ready to give up on the rest coming in yet, but if the next one tastes like I'm biting in to aspirin tablets then I'm going to have to scrap the entire crop.
I'm so sad about it. I hope the Squash is okay. I have the sads.
You can add this to the long list of reasons why I HATE the heat, but it's all experimental at the moment trying to be a "Farmer" with a postage stamp of "soil" on the surface of the sun. So far the winners are Potatoes, Sweet Peas and Tomatoes. I'll keep trying.
