On 9th September, just before we went on holiday, I harvested 4 cucumbers which I thought would be the last of the season. Close inspection of the plants today reveals however that they have by no means given up. And perhaps with a few days of quite nice weather (as is forecast) I might get another few fruits. At least 3 have formed, and they are growing rapidly. Here are some pictures:-

Have any of you tried eating immature cucumbers? We had some once at a Middle Eastern restaurant, as part of a mixed salad, and they were very nice. Not
really tiny ones like cornichons, but about 10cm long.
I might have to pick these ones of mine at an early stage if the weather turns cold before they mature.
I like your blog; I really like the quality of your pictures and I can see I will get inspiration from your site. I started blogging about the same time as you. If you want to have a look at my site it's - http://kelliboylesgarden.blogspot.com/
