Also, cut with a large stem.<br />Will grow more of these next year at the plot. Love the taste of them!Gary and Jen, and Ruby and Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495899508332511142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118323394564742435.post-19267959996304292902009-09-20T13:05:59.525+01:002009-09-20T13:05:59.525+01:00Your Butternut squash looks amazing, my two are ha...Your Butternut squash looks amazing, my two are half that size!

Oh well, that's what travel is for. Hope you get lots of tomatoes!

Maybe you could...Hi Tanya,thanks for your comments.<br />Maybe you could create a Cucumber preserve? We made Marrow preserve recently which turned out lovely.<br />We saw a recipe for Kiwi Fruit jam too, and the flesh of those is the same consistency as cucumber ?<br /><br />Have fun,Gary and Jen, and Ruby and Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495899508332511142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118323394564742435.post-46040187031945078142009-09-06T21:43:53.770+01:002009-09-06T21:43:53.770+01:00everything is looking good...I'm still getting...everything is looking good...I'm still getting plenty of produce off my plants to....at the moment I have cucumbers coming out of my ears...lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
