Lemon cucumbers.
I picked these (and more) cukes this morning. The squash canopy in my veggie pen is so thick that I miss them. And it's difficult to move about because I fear damaging the vines (earlier I posted a picture of the pen). So, maybe I planted too many plants. The cucumber row has 11 plants; the squash row has ten plants (three varieties). The vines are climbing so fast I have a hard time disentangling them from the chain link fence, made worse by the lower two feet or so, which are covered by chicken wire. This is to keep out the local bunnies (we have many many).

While I intend to pick these when they reach the size of the small ones pictured here, I had missed them earlier. Who knows how many more I missed this morning.
