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.
(first posted 10/21/2011) All cars have headlights. Theyâre a basic part of our image of a car, the eyes on its face. At night they need to be up high and far apart to light the road for the driver, and light the car for everyone else. But during the daytime, theyâre just blocking the airflow and taking up space.
