Cucumbers are a refreshing and fast-growing warm season crop. Plant seeds or transplants outdoors after the last frost, usually in mid-to-late April, in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Cucumbers love consistent moisture and benefit from a trellis or support to keep the fruits straight and healthy. Harvest regularly when they reach the desired size to encourage continuous production. Cucumbers are a great way to stay hydrated and the skin contains vitamin C and K. Enjoy cucumbers from your garden sliced fresh, pickled, or used to flavor your water.
