'cumber

A nephew invites Lee and myself to look round his farm: cucumbers, pumpkins and ganja all planted in the steep flinty side of a fire-blackened hill. We return as the sun is setting, Lee having arranged to collect some 'cumbers to take back with him to Kingston.

The cucumbers grew on vines planted in rows. They reached six feet in height by the time the ’cumbers were ready to pick in May and June.

We got some ’cumbers for Esther some for Jock and some radish for Esther and for Titley’s first thing tomorrow.
