What happens to us between death and our bodyâs resurection happens in âa twinkling of an eyeâ so we donât need to worry about a âsoul sleepâ or whatever. When our bodies die, our souls die.
Like most vegetables, cucumbers are tender and tastiest when harvested young before their seeds are fully developed. Slicing cucumber varieties are generally ready for harvest when about six to eight inches long; pickling types at three to five inches.
Usually, you plant extra seeds because all of the seeds will not germinate. However, once the seedlings grow, you may have too many for the space. You need to remove the extra ones so that the plants are properly spaced. Otherwise, the cucumbers will be too crowded and they will fight for nutrients and not grow well. Harvest dills at 4 to 6 inches long and pickles at 2 inches long for pickles. 2  The large burpless cucumbers can be up to 10 inches long and some types are even larger. 3  Cucumbers are best picked before they seeds become hard and are eaten when immature. 4  Do not let them get yellow.
