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.
You can normally begin to harvest cucumbers around 12 weeks from sowing. Harvesting cucumbers is best done early in the morning when temperatures remain cool. Cut the fruits from the plant using secateurs or a sharp knife.
