Strange Fruit in my Backyard…

In March I planted a cucumber in my square foot garden, after sprouting it indoors. It took off, grew nicely, but slowly, during the winter…tucked under row covers through a few hard freezes. Spring came, I staked it as it grew.  By MAy and June when it was raining (A LOT!) here everyday I got busy and ignored it for a while, after all, it was getting watered!  So a few weeks ago I go out and find THIS (see that first picture?)….

My tomatoes and cucumber had, well, mixed somehow. Most info I could find out was that if they cross pollinated, it wouldn’t affect the first fruit, only the next generation.

Well, obviously something happened.  So I have been watching it…and watching it. Finally today, I cut it open. It’s smells deeply of cucumber, hhhmmmm, should I have it on my salad tonight? I don’t know….
