Interesting way to grow cucumbers
I have seen women looking at jewelry ads with a misty eye and one hand resting on the heart, and I only know what they're feeling because that's how I read the seed catalogs in January - Barbara Kingsolver - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers

LOL Kim, I only said it was "interesting". I was at a loss as to what else to say about it.
I think it would be fun for kids - bet they'd be more likely to eat it.

Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
Reminds me of the square watermelons grown in Japan in molds because the pack and stack better.

Yes, weirdly awesome indeed! Someone else on here posted once about disney world growing mickey mouse shaped pumpkins or watermelons or something.
Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
I just did a quick web search and "Vegiforms" is no longer making the molds. 
All is not lost though, I did manage to find 2 of their molds at The Caning Shop. $12.95 a pop for the "Garden Elf" (fit for pumpkins, eggplant, etc) & "Pickle Puss" (good on zucchini, squash, cucumbers, etc).

Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
Just like our carrots will turn into an L shape when they reach the bottom of the box. Hmm. Seems like someone could create their own form and.... hey I see a future contest

Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
You can do something similar by putting the pollinated flower in a bottle and letting it grow.

Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
Square molds for square foot gardening. All our cukes and zucchini's would stack in the crisper drawer so nice and neat, just like our tidy little gardens. 

Re: Interesting way to grow cucumbers
Thank you all for posting. . . I had never heard or seen this before. . . this is really quite neat!
interesting
Awwww..... I see someone else took the "behind the seeds" tour at Disney. That was so cool.
