Cucumber The Superfood

Well I quite enjoyed that... the summary of the article seems to be rub cucumber on every available surface. I have images of cleaning cupboards being replaced with mini fridges all over the country and mail order next day delivery cucumbers...  they will soon evolve and take over the world!

I'm with Sue on the cucumber question...  Once left a chunk of cucumber in the veggie draw of the fridge for far too long - it turned into the most fowl smelling liquid you can imagine...!!!  Horrid stuff...!!! 

I'm not sure you were all that wrong, @Hampalong. Not sure about the quality of the source. However, I've had a hunt around and, although not convinced about the reputation of the source either (nutritiondata.self.com), I've had a look at courgette .v. cucumber nutritional value comparisons. NB. They refer to amounts per cup or half cup, which of course is much more than a human (or fish) would eat. Based on equal quantities of a cup, though, then:
vit.A, in IUs: courgette (248); cucumber (109) - courgette more nutritious.
vit.C in mgs: courgette (21.1); cucumber (3) - courgette more nutritious.
vit.K in mcgs: courgette (5.3); cucumber (17) - cucumber more nutritious.
folate in mcgs: courgette (36.0); cucumber (7.2) - courgette more nutritious.
calcium in mgs: courgette (18.6); cucumber (16.6) - courgette slightly more nutritious.
magnesium in mgs: courgette (21.1); cucumber (13.6) - courgette more nutritious.
phosphate in mgs: courgette (47.1); cucumber (25) - courgette more nutritious.
potassium in mgs: courgette (325); cucumber (152. - courgette more nutritious.
sodium in mgs: courgette (12.4); cucumber (2.0) - courgette higher value.

Hope that's helpful - although not sure how much different species of fish need these vits and minerals! 

Edited to add: although I eat it regularly, I didn't think cucumber had a smell at all - but then remembered what I considered a delicious smell and taste when I first tried it in a glass of water. So I'm afraid I'm in the other camp from Sue, Top Cookie and Mrs Matt.

I like tomatoes 

I grow them, 2 in the greenhouse in case the weather is awful, and 2 in the garden in case the greenhouse ones get attacked by bugs. I have just been in the garden potting the greenhouse pair into their final pots; the garden pair will be planted out in the next few days. Gardener's Delight are so much tastier than supermarket tomatoes 

I also grow cucumbers in a grow house. Very popular in the river tank.
This is the first year I'm going to try some tomatoes outside, as they are usually in a growhouse too.
