Cucumber Salad for Dinner

I love the smell of cucumbers. That unmistakable subtle and yet heady scent when you walk into a room as someone is slicing them. Right now we are leaving the leafy salad-a-day stage with the garden because the weather has gotten really hot and the lettuces are bolting, going to seed. We will leave a few heads in the garden and collect the seeds for replanting in the cooler weather. Play your cards right and could never have to buy some seeds ever again!

So now it's the cucumber salad-a-day stage. Yum.

Here is the larger of two cucumber patches we have. You'll see that we have put down some boxes on one side to keep weeds at bay. Until our mulch delivery arrives we use boxes as a quick and easy weed deterrent.

Here's what we found after three days away in Cape May.

Ingredients for last night's salad: cucumbers, radishes, dill, and julienned lemon sorrel from the garden. Tossed with thinly sliced red onion, fresh lime juice, and sea salt.

Delicious.
