My homegrown cucumbers are very prickly. It’s not a problem; the spines are easy to scrub off. But before doing so today, I decided to examine some of them under the microscope. Now I’m curious about cactus spines!

I was just thinking I needed to find something to nature journal but it’s too cold to be out for long. You’ve reminded me I can look in the kitchen for something to study. And I knew cucumbers had bumps but didn’t realize they were spines. Thanks for sharing.
