Cukes

(1949 September)

Concerning your cucumbers, I regret to say the crop was a failure this year. I think the reasons were that they were planted too late and not weeded. A cucumber is long, not round. I was up there the other day to look for you and found two bottles empty. I surmised the blossom had wilted off. Two had very small cukes in but could still slip out of neck of bottle. Frost is here and growing time over now, so there will be no more during this year. You will have to get an early start next year.
