Trellising Lemon Cucumbers

I love trellising cucumbers.  Although I haven't much to trellis this year.  One of them has made it to the top.  Another on the way.  The rest ... taking their time! Isn't this lemon cucumber beautiful?

You can see the blossoms here.  I can hardly wait to eat the sliced lemon cucumbers with tomatoes - oh and just pour some Marukan Rice Vinegar over it.  You might add onion if you want a bit of a punch.  Red onion is the best but any yellow onion will do.  It's a quick and refreshing summer salad.  Chill for an hour or so,  Perfection!

Garden photo update

My garden is feeling a little behind.  Last year my peas were twice as tall.  I can tell because of the trellis.  

My peas are just starting to blossom.  I've got oregon sugar pods this year and I can hardly wait to eat them.

The panels are 4 feet tall and 16 feet long. I love cutting these panels into just the size I need for say, trellising cucumbers.  This way I can put them closer together and keep them from taking over each other and the rest of the garden.  I especially love the lemon cucumbers.  They are not bitter and add a little Marukan rice vinegar (gluten free!) and I'm in heaven.

Cattle Panels or wire panels are made from galvanized steel and don't rust.  A friend at church cuts them and makes them into really great tomato cages.
