Congratulations from me too :)

Awww, shucks guys, thanks. I was very nervous about entering, you expect your nearest and dearest to tell you how great your veggies are, but when you are asking strangers, well they are honest!
Emaggie, the lemon cucumbers are great, apple sized, with a crunchy, citrus taste. Number one daughter loves them in her lunch box, ideal size, that is why I grow that type.
-
Oh I say, well done neighbour!
