Cucumber and yard long bean trail with Rohan and Bhuvan...

It's so much fun trailing these tender little savatikaayis/cucumbers. After spotting the first two cucumbers from under the mesh, I spotted three more. And then, we couldn't resist our temptation and had to clamber up onto the mesh roof. For most of the creeper has sneaked out of the mesh and is growing wild all over the mesh.

We had so much fun looking for these sweet looking, tender little cucumbers that are hiding under the huge leaves. The moment one of us spied a cucumber, we'd shout out loud in excitement. And boy, we ended up finding close to seven cucumbers, apart from the five we'd spotted under the mesh.
After growing and harvesting loads of cumbers as kids on our farm, It had always been my dream to grow among many other vegetables, a cucumber creeper and harvest loads of cucumbers. After quite a few failed attempts in my earlier little green patch (In the small balconies), The creepers this time, have the fortune of growing in the ground. The vines look sturdy and healthy and the leaves are super large and green. Considering that, I am now wishing that these little cucumbers don't get attacked by any pests, they grow healthy, and I am able to harvest some beautiful looking, tender juicy cucumbers.

 The vines are choc-a-bloc with flowers. Hoping at least fifty percent of them turn into fruit...

 The creepers have simply gone haywire all over the mesh roof and are now threatening to even clamber onto the terrace parapet wall...

 The excitement and happy shock of spying a cute little cucumber !

 Can't have enough of gazing at them lovingly...

 If I am busy admiring the little cucumbers, and Rohan is busy taking pictures, Bhuvan is busy at his antics...

 A couple of Alasandi/Yard long beans that the monkeys had chewed up !

But then, the creepers are full of new flowers and tiny little alasandi/yard long beans...

 So many more young alasandi/beans, that we need to keep an eye on and harvest before the monkeys do...

 Wondering about the purple tinged tips of the alasandi/beans...

 Posers both...!!
