I know they all taste good and a bit spicy! <br />Liz perhaps last year was a bad year for cukes! <br />Karen and Rowena beetroot is so easy to grow (unless you have a dog with a taste for it!:-))<br />and will overwinter in the ground. I left mine in last year and we were still pulling it in March. Hope you enjoy the soup Karen! <br />Bankchik thank you for your good wishes for the cucumbers. I hope your forecast is right! <br />ValValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091179426025443924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821154437036673351.post-87920324049517793052009-07-01T07:02:58.148+00:002009-07-01T07:02:58.148+00:00I just have a feeling that cucumber will behave ju...I just have a feeling that cucumber will behave just like bitter gourds.
