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.
Headlights on âupperâ or âhighâ beam let you see about 350-400 feet ahead. 400 feet is your approximately stopping distance when driving at 50-55 mph. That is about the length of a city block. In other words, high beams let you see twice as far as low beams.
300 feet might be a good distance but try to judge the distance of a following car when his high beams begin to bother you. I use high beams in urban driving when there are no cars ahead of me. It is much easier to see children, animals, road debris, etc. in or on the side of the road. YMMV.
