Yes, I am aware that cucumbers and cantaloupe are both members of the same plant family. Yes, I realize that planting them close together means that a pollinator might go from one to the other.
But, geez, I had no idea I could get cuke-a-lopes. Or Canta-bers, I suppose. At least I've gotten a couple of the regular round kind. Stay tuned for what these look and taste like when cut open. I'll let you know.
I did make jam yesterday and it tastes great!! I was limited by the amount of low-sugar pectin I had on hand, but still got plenty of little jars to give away. Yippee!
Good to hear you had jam success! I love your new names: Cuke-a-lopes and canta-bers. You had some serious hanky pank going on in your garden those sultry summer nights!
ReplyDeleteSerious hanky pank indeed! I'm going to use that term more often. :-)
DeleteI think I prefer the Cuke-a-lope shape...I am more of an ovalist... ;)
