Cucumbers
Cucumbers fill warm-season gardens with crisp fruits for slicing, pickling, salads, chilled dishes, and fresh eating straight from the vine. Choose compact bush types for containers and small beds, or vigorous climbing varieties for trellises and larger harvests.
Plant after the soil has warmed, provide full sun and consistent moisture, and check vines often once fruiting begins. Frequent picking keeps cucumbers tender and encourages continued production through the heat of summer.
