Even though I am a member of a CSA and have a virtual bounty of locally grown vegetables each week, I still planted a small garden this year.
I had intended to grow more herbs and some heritage tomatoes, but I ended up planting a variety of peppers, eggplants and cucumbers, too. Originally I thought some plants would not be successful, but I was wrong. Even the musk melon seems to have taken an aggressive hold on my suburban dirt. But the cucumbers are magical. Every morning I pick a few and the next day, more are in their place.
The best way to prepare these just picked cucumbers is to make raita by combining cucumber cubes with mint also from my garden - and Greek yogurt.
