It's my intention to gain a new ability every 2 months for the next 20 years. I'd enjoy some company, some help, and some constructive criticism.
Aquaponics - Cucumbers!
Cucumbers!
I've been trying to grow cucumbers! for the entire time I've been involved with aquaponics, but have had a miserable time of it. I kept getting tiny cucumbers! that had failed to pollinate properly, and would shrivel up and die after they reached two centimetres in length.
But I just noticed this.
It's a cucumber!
Actually it's a stack of cucumbers!
I've been hand pollinating them with a cotton bud. Q-tip? Whatever they call cotton on a stick in your part of the world.
It has worked.
That green thing on the one in focus is caterpillar poop.

You could have made cornichons. Have you endeavoured into pickling yet?

No, what you see there is pretty much all of it. I think I have 5 now that have grown past the size that means they have been pollinated, but they are all still very small.
