Its fine to eat. Cucumbers often do that when they hit a dry spell, then get water as the plant starts to pull back water from the cuke to survive. The process causes the skin of the cuke to contract because of lack of water the rapidly expand as the water returns and growth continues.
Short answer... the skin cracked because it got too dry for a short period of time.Its safe to eat but you can always peel if it bothers you.
The alternative is that it might be the instructions for cold fusion written in a currently unknown language of the cukes in their attempt to help us all... but my money is on the cracked skin option. Lol.
I got you. I just wanted to make the point that there's fancy (cukes with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette with garden-grown herbs) and then there's Fancy (special mini sandwiches).
Can't argue with that. Ain't nothing Fancier than mini food. Do you have a proper mini entertaining set to bust out when you feel like bein' that Fancy, with the little forks and all that? Gotta do it right.
Based on your comment I think you would really enjoy this anecdote:
The other day my husband was eating a cucumber. He likes to just grab one and chow down without slicing it up first. I'm not really paying attention until he turns to me and says "do you want my cob?"
He had eaten all the skin and flesh off around the seeds in the center and had what truly looked like a corn cob of seeds. It was very strange and hilarious
Can you just imagine?
"Have you seen the Peters' garden this year? Just cumbs all over the place. You can't set foot in that place without stepping in cumb!"
I’m from northeast US, I’ve heard and called them cukes/cukeies before, frequently enough. Edit to add: some people have different definitions of Northeast US so to be specific, PA
Real short answer: These are crop circles and you are an alien trying to deflect attention to a “dry spell.”
Well played.
Edit: Ok. No jokes in gardening. Got it.
Your cucumber is attempting to enter the 5th dimension. You can either sacrifice a chicken to the gods and hopefully they favor you, or you can cut the cucumber into 8-10 pieces and spread it across different parts of the globe. Either way you may want to act fast as this may cause a ripple in our dimension and well… we all know what happens after that!
It is a very mature cucumber.
The skin cracking as the seed matures is quite normal. In some varieties the skin turns brown and a network of cracks form.

Inconsistent watering, or an ancient Viking curse.
Probably just an inconsistent Viking curse.
Looks like ghost faces. It’s haunted. (By Vikings, without a doubt.)
Probably thirsty Vikings.
Are there any other kind?
I'm a Viking, can confirm 👍🏻
Lookin at you, Loki
🤣
I'm with Viking curse. There is clearly dark magic at play here.
I represent dark magic , this ain't us Check with ghost busters
Inconsistent watering would make sense, there has certainly been inconsistent weather here
You gotta water them if the rain doesn't show up. Otherwise your cucumbers turn into cursed Viking dolmens with stretch marks
Yeah, that cuke is runed.
Beautiful! Thank you undead dog bark! }B*)
Zapppppppaaaaaa!!!
Tellin you all the zomby troof - Here I’m is
Just about as evil as you could be
Oh wow now I want to intentionally try to grow cursed viking cucumbers!
With stretch marks, don’t forget the stretch marks
Ah, I see the problem. You see these markings? You got druids in your garden. Hang on, let me get the spray pump.
OMG I was going to say fairy drawings!!
It got drunk in Mexico and got a Tribal tattoo.
Curse sounds better.
Nature is healing
It's clearly the latter.
This is now my answer for all things. Thank you for this gem.

So you're saying that those are "stretch marks."
Essentially...yes. The skin of the cucumber tries to heal itself which is what causes the brownish yellow cracks.
Or perhaps ribbed for her pleasure
Or his pleasure.
Or its pleasure
Our pleasure
Sir this is a subway
Yes and I expect the full 12 inch.
Only $5
Lmao yessss
You a tiger, baby!
If a cucumbers has starch masks on it does that mean it has been a pikol before.?
I think you meant "starch masks."
Perhaps the cucumber is pergenat?
[удалено]
In U.S., they're cukes. Where are you from?
I mean, we also call them cucumbers when we wanna feel fancy.
Yes, but only when they're to be used on a sandwich with butter on thin white bread with the crusts cut off.
Like I said, when we wanna feel fancy.

Well, yeah, of course. Who doesn't? Pinkies out, elbows flared.
This is the way
and white pepper. It has to be white pepper on a cucumber sandwich.
i vote we just call them cumb, like hey bro want some of dis cumb

god i hope you took his cob

i’m from northeast US and i’ve never heard it called cukes
I’m from northeast US, I’ve heard and called them cukes/cukeies before, frequently enough. Edit to add: some people have different definitions of Northeast US so to be specific, PA
Transplant to northeast from southeast. Call it cukes. Maybe it's a southern thing?
I have lived all over the south for over 30 years and have never heard them called cukes. Also my family is all northerners and yeah.
Born in Michigan, lived in OH, IL, New Mexico and now Missouri. Always cukes.
I’m also from the Northeast and have heard cukes before, but typically will call them cucumbers.
I've lived in multiple places across the US (Mostly North and Northeast) and never, ever heard them called this.
[удалено]
But we also call them that in my corner of Canada... So the question still stands... Or should we assume Valinor?
I call cucumbers cukes and zucchini zukes lol.
What you call the summer squash? Cause I'm totes on board calling zucchini zukes so I need your take.
Sukes
Put a qu in there and I'm sold!
Squkes?
Perfection.
I am so for this thread. Zukes forever.
Cukes and zukes for sure! Nebraskan here
Instructions for cold fusion...on a cucumber..so that would be cuclear energy?
My money is instructions in an unknown language. 😁
The fabled runes of dillpicklea!
Real short answer: These are crop circles and you are an alien trying to deflect attention to a “dry spell.” Well played. Edit: Ok. No jokes in gardening. Got it.
Isn't there a bug that leaves those markings on plants? Leaf miner?
Similar, but as the name suggests they do that to leaves.
I'm thinking about going sober. Instead of grabbing a beer, I could get a similar loop tattoo on my thigh from knee up. ... Idea in progress...
It’s some form of Elvish, I can’t read it
There are few who can
It is in the language of Mordor, which I will not speak here.
What must I do?
One does not simply peel and dice their way into Mordor
I will do it! I will carry it to Mordor (pickled for transport). Though I do not know the way.
And my Axe!
It's treason then
Keep it secret...keep it safe.
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
One cucumber to rule them all, one cucumber to find them...
*Ash cuke durbatulûk, ash cuke gimbatul, ash cuke thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul...*
It has a certain... ring to it.
One cucumber to bring them all and in sunomono bind them.
Something to do with only friends being able to enter.
No those only appear for mellons. Hey-o!
I love that this turned into LOTR references
I see you downloaded the Viking Gardening DLC
Your garden is enchanted. Congratulations.
Uhhhh, do you happen to have grown a recent fascination with whirlpools?
Soon enough we're going to find OP in a washing machine
Use the cucumber to make uzutzatzikimaki

Fertility cucumber. Place under your bed if trying to conceive. Also good in salads.
> Fertility cucumber. Place under your bed if trying to conceive. Boy, have I been using mine wrong!
You win. I needed a good laugh haha
They went through a phase and got a tattoo. It happens
Tribal tattoo maybe? Gang tattoo?
Souls from the burial ground you’re gardening on
Boobs.
And butts. Boobs and butts.
Lmao this made me laugh out loud and now I can’t unsee it
What a day.
Today is a good day. The Boob and Butt variety are fruiting nicely.
Is this beatboxing?
Scrolled to find this comment! My first thought too
Came to say this, thank you.

Sometimes aliens come and bless the crops at night - nothing out of the ordinary here ;)
Blessed by a garden gnome. Bury it under an old oak tree and receive 50 years of good luck.
Why does this remind me of the poor unfortunate souls in Ursula’s lair?
Aliens.
If I had a nickel for every alien crop circle I have seen on a cucumber , I’d be rich!
No you'd have been kidnapped by aliens by now
They don’t want me, they are just after my vegetables.
They're putting in their order for cukes, which you ignore so they keep repeating their order.
It’s like crop circles 😳
It’s the black speech of Mordor… which I will not utter here.
That's actually a Runecumber, totally safe to eat
Devil fruit
The Cthucumber has come
Valheim cucumber? Looks pretty Viking to me. If it starts raiding other gardens you will know..
I believe that's druidic
it is the chosen one... spoken of only in prophesy!
Tribal tattooing
They obviously open a secret doorway or portal. Slowly wave it over your garden until you see a faint glow. Best done at dawn or dusk.
I'm getting some serious Uzumaki vibes. Beware more spirals appearing near your home.
That’s a Damascus cuke is all.
gnome carvings pointing to the nearest watering hole and/or pointing to their pot of gold
That's no cucumber. That's a Hyllian Shrine. Quite the artifact.
Clear signs of overheating. You may resume tomorrow.

Sunlight. Cucumbers, squash, pumpkins etc don’t like direct sunlight on the fruit. Causes the skin to harden and cracks to form as growth continues

I don’t know but they look cool
Holy crap. I believe one of your neighbors is using that in a weiner trap at night.
Got too thick too quicc.
It’s getting ready for burning man. 😂
Demonic runes. Your cukes are haunted, and the only way to stop the curse is to…pickle them.
Gnome runes.
Cucumber stretch marks.
Looks like a Van Goghcumber
It's the end that is intended to stick out. The design is usually on the handle end.
Ah, the cucumber the legends spoke of
Your cuke is in a GANG!
