Making Soup With Home Grown Yellow Cucumber

I was encouraged when I succeeded in growing yellow cucumber for the first time. Initially, I thought yellow cucumber and cucumber are from the same cucumber vines. But I was wrong, they are different and not from the same vines. This is the 2nd time I had yellow cucumber vines growing in my garden.

Young yellow cucumber is not green but pale green or light beige in colour. They are also broader then ordinary cucumber.

The yellow cucumber and bottle gourd vines are fighting for space on the overhead lines. The yellow cucumber lost because the bottle gourd vines are fast growers.

Not only must the colour turns to brownish yellow but preferably the skin has crack lines before harvesting.

Maturing yellow cucumber, not due for harvest yet.

I harvested the yellow cucumber for boiling soup for dinner.

Ingredients for soup: yellow cucumber, carrot, corn on cob, pork ribs or chicken bones.

Sauteed home grown green amaranth with garlic.

Our dinner with steamed brown rice.

If he sows to please his own wrong desires,

he will be planting seeds of evil and

he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death;

but if he plants the good things of the Spirit,

he will reap the everlasting life that the Holy Spirit gives him.

(Galatians 6:8, The Living Bible-TLB)
