In my haste to find a solution as to the proper time for harvesting
cucumbers in my earlier post, I used the word leave instead of leaf! Sorry
for that mistake.


Americans tend to harvest cucumbers too late - they tend to be more
tasty and tender when picked at about 4 inches long. Especially if you
are _not_ growing one of the usual tough-skinned supermarket varieties.
