Calling all kids... to the garden!
Are you ready to amaze your friends and family???? I found this interesting project to do with my kids. We are going to start it today! If you have a cucumber vine in your garden then this idea might be for you!
CUCUMBER IN A BOTTLE
Nothing says "summer" like fresh cucumbers from the garden. You can also grow them vertically in a pot if you live in an apartment. Let them climb up wooden poles or chicken wire. As your cucumbers start to grow, show the kids a time honored trick... the cuke in a bottle.
What you'll need:
* cucumber seeds or 3-4 cucumber starts
* garden soil or pot and potting soil
* 12oz or plastic liter soda bottle with cap
* vinegar
Plant your seeds or start in a sunny area and keep watered. When the tiny cucumbers appear, choose one at the base of the plant (it needs to be shadier so the cuke won't cook in the sun). Carefully slip the baby cucumber into the plastic bottle. Save your bottle cap, don't lose it! Keep your bottle partially shaded with newspaper or burlap. When the cucumber fills the bottle, snip the stem. Fill your bottle with vinegar (this will make it last longer) and put on the cap. Keep it in your fridge. Don't try to eat it, it is just for show and tell. Bring it out to amaze your friends and family and they'll ask "How did you DO that?" |
