Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

When peeled and sliced, they taste like a regular cucumber. They are hairy on the outside. I have had them get as long as 30" in the past.

Small ones pickle fine as is.

I did order seeds late enough I will wait till next year.

Do I see super size chicken coops in picture,,?? or are those just sheds

The shortest structure near the garden is a greenhouse. The brown building with green roof is the tiny house they live in. The Gray building is in progress. It will be attached to the porch and house a bathroom and beds when company comes, or their kids visit. They do have a coop and chicken yard not in photo

The only way I'm gardening is what I can do with hydroponics in my great room.

Right now I have six lettuces, 8 cherry tomatoes, 3 green peppers and 4 cucumbers. I'm about to plant some yellow squash and spinach.

I'm using 2 growlights currently, really need a 3rd one soon.

Armenian cucumber

Definitely not the same as Painted Serpent. Painted serpent is very fuzzy. These are smooth except when they are little.
