It was the palest green, almost white.  It was straight and ridged and extra long.

I wasn’t sure what I would find when I cut into it.  But it was just a very unique cucumber.  It was juicy and tender and just right for eating, despite its size (large ones often have very undesirable tough, bitter seeds in them).

I am not sure what has been going on out there under the leafy, vining covering, but there has been some mixing it up, for sure!
