They opened it expecting a prank, but found cucumbers instead. It was funny. If I take out the bush cucumbers on the side which look a little sad already, I can keep up with the cucumbers growing on the trellis. They seem to grow slower than the bush ones do.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-8873346459759417902009-06-28T09:04:53.713-04:002009-06-28T09:04:53.713-04:00Amy, you're too funny.
