Thank you NatureLover and FarmerDill!

Well then! Out I go to pick my first cucumber ever! Yup, only one, but there's little ones popping out now. Most turned brown and died, but there are a few that are about 2 1/2 inches long now.

I'm not sure how you tell the color of the spines since I see green spines, but I'll watch more closely to see. I eat the pickling ones fresh anyway, those are more my family's size without waste since I'm the veggie freak and the rest are not too interested. The pickling cukes are the perfect snack size cucumber.

I do intend to try some pickling this year.

I had to take a pic for you. My very first cucumber.
