Cucumbers

We've tried to grow cucumbers before without much success. This summer we planted about three or four hills of them, hoping that each one would produce a cucumber. Well, each one has produced about a dozen . . . every day. We've had so many cucumbers that we rented a billboard on the freeway to try giving them away. OK, not a billboard, but we did have a sign. When Rural Ways was out of town, these two got together and formed a socialist republic. It turned into a vigorous knife fight, but we were finally able to sever them from the vine and cart them into the house. Now we'll see if they're good for eating.
