LC~ With your abundance of cukes, have you ever had/made freezer pickles?(I think that's what they call it) You just slice them and some onion, add sugar, white vinegar, water and celery seed. Pop them in the fridge...they last a long time, and they're yummy!!! Even my toddler likes them 
OR I take and chop them in 1 1⁄2 chunks, spoon most of the center out and fill with shrimp cocktail as an hors d'oeuvre.
As for the planting. This year I want to grow an herb garden...but just something small, since it's just my daughter and I since my divorce. I was thinking of using a terra cotta pot? Wish me luck...I LOVE to cook and try new recipes, but I'm an AWESOME baker.(I sell decorated cut out cookies during the holidays along with cupcake and cookie bouquets throughout the year)
