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.
Before cucumbers can produce fruit, the plants grow both male and female flowers on the same plant. The male flowers open first and grow in clusters of three to five, while the female flowers grow on a single stem.
