Avery's cucumber plant...

Sometime close to the end of school Avery brought home this cucumber planted in a little plastic cup... We put it in the window seal for a couple of weeks and she watered, and watered, and watered it... Finally one weekend we were going to be gone, so I just took it out of the cup and put it in the corner of the flower bed.. never really thinking it would actually make it... Well here it is NOW!!!!!!!! She had a stroke every time Dalton got close to it when she drove her John Deere tricycle by it.. so I had to push it over some out of her way... Dalton aggravating Avery would just sit right there by it!!!!
Finally a couple of days ago Avery discovered that she has a few tiny cucumbers on the plant! She was watering it to death, so we have started monitoring the watering... She would have to be put on nerve pills if this thing does not make it now! She thinks that she will cut the first one up and eat it with Ranch dressing... but she also added that she MIGHT change her mind! LOL That is a woman for ya!
