What pretty cakes! I'm so sorry so many of your librarian friends have retired or moved. Well, good for them, sad for you. And I hope you'll enjoy the Aremenian cucumbers as much as I do. Yes, you can feed a whole family with this variety!

We love the cucumbers! There's another one growing, (a muncher?) that looks more like a watermelon. I'm excited to see how it will turn out. Thank you so very much for giving them to me :)

Excellent, and EEK re the muncher! If it looks like a watermelon, it probably is. I grew those as well, except mine died out (cukes over-ran it). I might have mis-marked when I did transplants. The muncher should look like your everyday cucumber, but you can harvest it when it is narrow and smaller than your grocery cucumbers--giving it a tinier seed cavity/tender seeds. Or, let it grow to grocery-store size and have bigger, tougher seeds.

It's a watermelon! I'm so excited about this. Have never grown watermelon before. I'm glad for the mix-up, actually. We have plenty of cucumbers with all of the super-sized Armenian ones :)
