ah well done M

It'll be salads from now on then. Do you reckon that Ray will move to the local greasy spoon?

Oh thats a good one Milky , straight as well ! it will taste much better than the metalic tasting shop ones ..........

Looks good, Milky. Lovely cucumber sandwiches for tea?

Wonderful! So early ..... mine are still at the flower stage! They'll be coming fast and furious now no doubt.

Mookins....thats a tomato flower........I knocked it off trying to get this pic Yes Toto.......he has muttered something about "Fish and Chips" Thanks Eileen Amy Gee and Dawn......This is the Burpless variety, and I actually ate this tonight and it was so sweet.....Im glad SP doesnt like Cucumber, so they are mine.....all mine.....yummyyyyyyy

Good for you!! Milly - mine were bitter last year - hope they are OK this time - still tiny at the mo!

I cant wait for the next one Dawn..........dribble dribble......

Lol, I cant wait for my first one.

phew... I did think maybe you wouldnt have missed it being that big

crazy Photo with the torquise plastics behind.

Got to leave the bubble wrap up that side Nelke, thats facing west and its scorching............

Oh, Milky, I ment it like this: we always look for romantical, fitting backgrounds or so. Sometimes it is refreshing to see something out of the "aesthetic" context. The colours are good together and it is somehow funny.

Milky:

Good idea with the bubble wrap...it obviously has paid off.

Thanks Andy.........

our cucumber has only just got started.......Yours looks very healthy and is it cucumber soup tonight?

Oh no Lindak......I ate the one in the photo a few days ago........It was my lunch treat he he he ...........waiting for the next now, and count myself lucky that Ray doesnt like Cue's...............

I never used to like cucumbers but they have grown on me......sorry I have got to liking them especially on tuna or salmon sandwiches. My rabbit loves them.

Oh yes Lindak...with Tuna they are lovely.............

I love a tuna mayo baguette with slices of cucumber in. Although can't manage the large baguettes. If I go out to lunch I have half with Gerry and a cup of chocolate.

Is it Pimms-o'clock yet? A Pimms is not a Pimms without a good bunch of mint, a few ripe strawberries, and a good quantity of cucumber! Now thats what I call YUMMY! (A dash of vodka doesn't harm either - do I sound like I have a problem or what????)

Just the Vodka for me Tosh thanks......

Ice Milky? clink clink

Some people place a slice of cucumber on their eyes don't they to help soothe the skin.

Just in the drink please Lindak....with the ice Tosh......cheers
