Battle of the Veggies, Round 3

Cool as a...
Top row: 12 inches of tape measure
Second row: homegrown cucumber, standard variety
Third row: homegrown cucumber, tsuyataro variety
Fourth row: Full Belly Farm cucumber, Armenian variety

On length alone, the CSA box wins. On taste, it's kind of a toss up -- the difference is pretty subtle. On crunch, the homegrown varieties win, but they have the natural advantage of having just come off the vine.

The standard variety looks like a natural for pickling. Perhaps if we feel adventurous, or simply get tired of cucumbers, we'll give it a whirl.
Finally, for no good reason: Daisies!
