I planted four cucumber seedlings about three weeks ago. Almost right away, one was growing really, really well and the others were staying much smaller. I noticed that it was growing more bushy than viney, but I just wasn't paying much attention. We just went camping for several days and I came back to many small cucumbers on three of the plants. I went to look at the fourth one and suddenly realized why it wasn't looking the way I expected... it's a zuchini! Duh! I must have been really distracted not to have noticed it before. :rolleyes:

Don't you just love seeing them grow? I've planted yellow crook necks, and it's as if they halve again in size, each day.
The cool part? These were seeds from the dollar store, on clearance at $.10/pack!

I snagged all they had!
