Cucaloupe... or is it Cantacumber?

Who called it? Someone a month or so ago said I may end up with hybrid vegetables after mixing up my cucumber and cantaloupe seedlings. I was skeptical but low and behold I found this is my garden this passed week.



Notice how the one on the left is very yellow compared to the one on the right. Both these specimens are quite large as well. Pretty much all of the other ones are still tiny at this point. Some area farms and markets are already selling their pickling cucumbers so I am secretly whispering to these guys to hurry up because I have pickling to do.

Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience

They come in all shapes in sizes too.




Nature makes no mistakes, she just gets creative once in a while.
