Cucumbers

Cucumbers are another favorite of mine. Growing all of these different vegetables will be a lot of work, but worth it in the end. Not only will the food taste better, but it will help w the monthly grocery bill. So back to growing cucumbers. This is another summer plant. We have chosen to use the cucumber vine instead of the bush.We will harvest cucumbers while they are slightly immature. Remember to cut the plant from the vine. Do not pull the plant off. Plant seeds after last frost; allowing soil to become warm and to dry out.  Hints: Cucumbers like full sun. When watering the plant do not let them sit in water; cucumbers like well drained soil.  Remember Vine crops are heavy feeders so these will need fertilizer. PH level 5.5 7.0.
