Now THAT'S A Cucumber!
My husband is growing lots of vegetables this year - tomatoes (which the deer are slowly demolishing) which is upsetting us! We've gotten to eat two red ones so far. The others are being eaten by the deer while they are green. So we've been picking them off and trying to ripen them in the windows.. And he is growing broccoli, and green peppers and these huge cucumbers! He picked off a couple of them and they were big, but this is a monster - LOL!

Those deer sure can be pests. I'll have to guard my tomatoes, but they love some of my flowers just as well. We used to grow cucumbers and one year the vine grew towards a shrub we had. I didn't even notice it until one day. When I pulled the vine out, the cucumber was almost two feet long. It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. But it wasn't very edible.
Yep, I just picked 2 yesterday that were that size! We ate one chopped up in a salad; the other one I sliced & is marinating in water/vinegar/sugar/dill/salt combination. Good for snacking or for putting on salads.

Indeed it is!! My cucumber plants were happy devoured by slugs & snails.... there is always next year.
Enjoy your garden - there is nothing like fresh veggies. Now that's a cucumber is right! It almost looks like a zucchini!
