How odd and interesting! I have never heard of such a thing. Glad you liked my bench today. I thought of your blog when I saw it.
Very funny! That would be a big surprise getting squirted by a cucumber plant! But I'm glad you survived the attack! :)
I hope it didn't damage your camera and it's a good thing you didn't have a reaction to them.
You sure make unusual enemies.
Careful out there, VP. :-)
