The bigger one
Slightly bent cucumber.
I guess it will straighten up a little bit as the fruit gets bigger and heavier.

There are two cucumber plants sharing the trellis. The first plant has produced a lovely cucumber which has been consumed with nasi lemak as breakfast. Now the second plant is taking it's turn. Two cucumbers are showing up. But the first plant is still finding its old rhythm to produce cucumbers....

I just add organic fertilizer to the plants in the form of poultry pellets, after a light fluffing of the soil. I hope the roots are not disturbed too much. I read somewhere about fluffing; even though some roots will be disturbed,  but more new and fresh roots will be produced to take advantage of the additional fertilizer.
