🥒The cucumber my mother planted over two months ago is slowly growing🥒
Hello my loving Asean Hive community,
About two months ago, my mother planted a cucumber plant. The plant is now slowly growing. My mother did not buy the seeds and grow them. My mother grew some of the cucumber seeds she bought for cooking. My mother only planted mature cucumber seeds. That cucumber plant started growing last month. It started to grow into a small plant with young green leaves. However, the small flowers did not bloom at that time. At the time, I was photographing the cucumber. I posted the picture below.
My mother planted that cucumber plant near a chili plant. There are also some of my orchids nearby. My mother planted a cucumber plant there because the soil around it was good and the plants could easily get water.
The cucumber pictures above are from two weeks ago. About two weeks ago, my mother's cucumber began to bloom. I have never seen a cucumber plant before. I first saw my mother growing a cucumber plant. The flowers on the cucumber plant are small yellow. The flower of the cucumber plant is somewhat similar to the Bitter gourd flower. My family did not water the cucumber plant often. I think the rains of the rainy season make the flowers bloom faster. At the time, I thought these flowers would soon turn into cucumber fruit.
I also noticed that cucumber leaves are similar to pumpkin and chayote leaves. I think these plants are the same species. However, cucumber leaves look smooth and the edges of the leaves are a bit rough.
The pictures above are of the cucumber plant I took today. Now
cucumber plants have reached to my orchid plant. Cucumber flowers, as I thought, quickly turned into fruit. The flower turns into a fruit, but the flower is still on the fruit. And a lot of new flowers are coming out. I hope that the new yellow flowers will soon turn into fruit.
The cucumber shown above is the largest cucumber grown in my house. As you can see in the picture, there are small bumps on the cucumber surface. These are not small insects. This is due to the type of cucumber grown. I think this cucumber will be stored soon until it can be picked soon. I will share more when the cucumbers grown by my mother grow up.
Thank you.🍇
