Cuthbert’s harvest
Cuthbert the Cucmelon really has come good. After several weeks of not producing anything, he’s now heavy with fruit. This is the first harvest of mini-fruits, and there’s at least as many again that should be ready by the weekend. Mind you, it was necessary to stand on a chair to pick them – he’s grown that much! I love the colouring and marking on them; they do look just like little watermelons.
I think my lunches at work this week are going to include a small handful of cucumelon. That’s rather a satisfying feeling.
