I picked this cucumber this morning, and measured it.  It is 15 inches long.  Really!!!

 

We plant this variety every year:  Suyo Long.  They are fabulous.  And since they are heirlooms we can save the seeds, and replant the following year.  I only buy new seeds every few years to to be sure they haven't been cross-pollinated with any other Cucurbits.  So far we have been very lucky.  

 

This year the vines have grown way up over the trellis and flopped down the other side.  They just keep giving us beautiful cucumbers.  Time to make pickles again, before the dill runs out.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
