She Unleashed

Would you grow the world’s tiniest tomatoes or would harvesting these drive you absolutely insane? 👀

I never thought I’d become the type of person who gets excited over cucumbers… but here we are 😂🥒

For YEARS I just tolerated cucumbers because the ones from the grocery store always tasted watery and bland to me. But after growing Armenian cucumbers this summer, I finally understand the hype.

These things are:
✨ extra crunchy
✨ flavorful
✨ refreshing
✨ HUGE
✨ and somehow survive Arizona heat like absolute champions

Meanwhile every other cucumber variety I tried before basically gave up on life in my garden 😭

So today I harvested two Armenian cucumbers and made the easiest summer cucumber salad:

🥒 2 Armenian cucumbers, sliced thin
💧 1/4 cup cold water
🍶 1/3 cup vinegar
🧂 salt + pepper to taste
🍯 drizzle of honey
🌿 dried dill from the garden

Mix everything together and let it sit for 1 hr in fridge before eating.

Simple, refreshing, crunchy perfection ☀️

At this point, Armenian cucumbers have officially earned permanent space in my summer garden.

Now tell me — what’s your favorite cucumber variety and what recipes do you love making with them? 👀👇
