I planted too many cucumber plants and now I'm doing this daily. I'm just leaving them places at this point, break room, office, mailboxes.

The cool thing about pickles is that they last a while. Especially if your canning.
Or you could make enough cucumber facial for your whole body.

Give a person a cucumber and they eat for a day. Plant a cucumber vine and the whole neighborhood gets cucumbers

You can ask around your community, and see if any of the food banks take fresh produce. In my city the neighborhood community ministry is really thankful for fresh produce to add to their stores.

I thought that was a pic of way too many watermelons, before I got to the post itself. 😂

There’s no such thing as too many cucumbers. I pickle lots of them, and eat cucumber sandwiches, put them in salad, pull them off the vine for a quick snack while I’m gardening. Love cucs.

You can make a liquid fertiliser with them or Chuck them on the compost heap, the nutrients will end up back in the soil and feed other plants.

Cucumber facial masks are divine.

You can also make a cucumber simple syrup for cocktails and/or mocktails
This is a problem I wish I had! *puts away lemon, Tajin, and chamoy*

This is the struggle. You only want to gift away the best but you can’t eat all the mediocres. My advice: just give them away, people won’t judge and will be plenty grateful if they aren’t great.

I’ve picked so many so far this year. I use my grand grandma’s recipe. It’s not as hard as it looks. There are simply YouTube videos.

I love the idea of cucumbers being placed in a ton of random places for unsuspecting victims to find. 😆

Don’t feel bad, I’m literally giving out zucchini like Santa. Im chasing randos down the street begging them to unload the bed of my truck from this burden of excess zucchini! 😉

I love pickles. ..

same here. But it’s fine. I have enough pickles for 2 years and enough relish for a year. I think I’m going to make another batch of relish that a friend gave me a recipe for, mustard relish, I’ll do that tomorrow. and then I think I’m just going to let the vines die
It’s really easy, you just let the cucumbers go yellow. The vine will think it’s job is done- it’ll opt for the big rest. I have a really long season here so I can plant some beans in that spot or something… I’ll figure something out lol

Have you read Barbara Kingsolver’s book Animal, Vegetable, Mineral? She talks about how she didn’t dare leave the house in August because if she did neighbors would sneak baskets of zucchini on each others porches when the saw them leave their house
