The cucumber is the edible fruit of the cucumber plant Cucumis sativus, which belongs to the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, as do melons and squash. The plant has been cultivated for 3000 years now and is still being widely cultivated even to this very day. The cucumber plant has large leaves that form a canopy over the fruit. The vine is grown on the ground or on trellises, often in greenhouses. It is a fruit because it contains the seeds which help it to reproduce. The cucumber is believed native to India !!

Now, the reason I've named this blog Cucumber City has nothing to do with all these facts...nor am I interested in cucumbers...it is simply because I liked the name...probably because I'M AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER !! ;)
Welcome all --to my blog !
