Mini White Cucumber Harvest

Veeeeery mini.

These are the Miniature White Cucumbers I grew indoors this winter. I’ve had very mixed results with my indoor growing.  Some things seem to thrive and some just peter out like these poor cucumbers did, even after such lush vine growth at the beginning.  I left them on the vine for a very long time, checking them hopefully each week. But this week I finally gave up and harvested them. It was clear they weren’t planning on growing any bigger than this. I took the picture with a banana for scale. Sad little things were just 1 3/8 ounce, about the average of my herb harvests..lol.  There are still a few left growing on there, but I’m not expecting any better results with them at this point.

I’m not overly disappointed with this.  It was just an experiment and I learned some things in the process.  Next winter I’m going to try my regular cucumber seeds indoors.  It’s quite possible this particular variety is what I’m having problems with.  I’ll have more space and more lights, which will help.  I’ll also start the seeds much earlier than I did this time.
