Like most vegetables, cucumbers are tender and tastiest when harvested young before their seeds are fully developed. Slicing cucumber varieties are generally ready for harvest when about six to eight inches long; pickling types at three to five inches.
Headlights on âupperâ or âhighâ beam let you see about 350-400 feet ahead. 400 feet is your approximately stopping distance when driving at 50-55 mph. That is about the length of a city block. In other words, high beams let you see twice as far as low beams.
When passing a truck, don't move back into your lane until you can see both truck headlights in your rearview mirror. Be aware of a truck's blind spots: up to 20 feet in front of the tractor, anywhere along the sides of the trailer and up to 200 feet behind the trailer. Never cross behind a truck that is backing up.
