Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had some cucumbers slowly expanding amongst the greenery in the tunnel house, and today we decided was the first harvest day. Three cucumbers off 2 plants. Not a bad start!

I foolishly suggested to Bec a couple of weeks ago that she shouldn’t get too excited, as I suspected we might not get anything like you buy in the supermarket off them. I was wrong! They seem like they’re a pretty good size at over a foot long. I’m now really, really glad we’ve only got the pair of plants!

But at around about $2.00 each for a cucumber at the supermarket lately we’ve saved ourselves about $6.00. Some way to go yet to reach pay-back!
