Nabha ji To me the third photo does not have Zichorie (the chicory; Cichorium intybus), nor yellow cucumber. It looks like we have two types of brinjal, Zucchini (C. pepo), Mediterranean squash (C. pepo) and some cucurbit but not cucumber.
Zichorie is different: http://www.fotosearch.de/PTC122/013313/ Stores in California also have Radichhio, I will upload it separately. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
