Get Me Outta Here!!!

Nature has a funny way of making the unthinkable happen. Take for instance the power of the cucumber. Our cuke plants this year spread through the garden like wildfire. And when it ran out of room...they worked their way outside the backyard. And then last week, I found this curly guy. The cucumber somehow pushed out a panel of our fence as it grew. When it could push it out no more, the cucumber curled around the fence.
Needless to say, it was not easy to harvest this guy. I had to pull apart the fence further and then wiggle the cucumber out.
