Attack of the giant cucumbers

We planted cucumber plants. WAAAYYYY too many cucumber plants. They grew well. We saw lovely blossoms on the edges. Never occurred to us to lift the leaves and look. When it finally dawned on us to look, the cucumbers that were hiding there were HUGE!! One had a 3 inch diameter when sliced. They weren't very cucumbery tasting. The sheep and the goat were quite fond of them. Me, not so much. I think I'll check the cucumbers more often.
