Twin Cucumbers

Here is a photo of our twin cucumbers that we grew last summer.

I felt uncomfortable harvesting them, so I kept them on the vines as long as I could. Other cucumbers started to yellow as they aged, but these stayed green and strong until just before the Fall frosts.

It almost felt like a violation to harvest them. They felt too precious and unusual! I knew I might never see any cucumbers like this again in my lifetime. Their energy was very strong and cutting them up and eating them was difficult for me, too.
