The Forgotten Cucumber

Against my better judgment, I planted some cucumber plants next to the fence in the garden. I really dislike doing this because the grass inevitably creeps back in and I lose whatever is planted by the fence in a tangle of weeds and grass.

This is especially problematic with cucumbers, because you know what happens when you don't see a cucumber for awhile? Yeah, one day you finally excavate under the weeds, only to find . . . THE CUCUMBER THAT ATE THE GARDEN.

But you know who's not scared of cucumbers bigger than his arm?

That's right: the digger man.

He gnawed it like an ear of corn until he got tired of it and tossed it to the ground. And then Mia found it and chewed on it as if it were a bone until it was gone.

Nothing goes to waste around here, at least.
