Freshly picked

I picked the first cucumber off my plant, today! I’m so excited to slice it up! I’m a little weary it will be the best tasting cucumber, because I just thought I should leave it on the vine to get super huge. After a bit of research on harvesting them, I learned you can harvest them early (i.e. small), but harvesting them late can lead to hard seeds and bitter cucumbers. Eeeek! This one isn’t too yellow, but I’m kind of nervous. EITHER WAY, I’m super pumped about my plants actually producing fruit for us. I can’t wait to harvest more!
