English Cucumber

These vining plants produce abundant 8-12 inch long smooth skinned cucumbers with a juicy sweet flavor. Grow plants on a tomato cage to save space and keep the plants and fruit clean. Growing them trained upwards will help the cucumbers stay nice and straight.

Cucumbers want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly.

Harvest cucumbers before they are too mature and the seeds inside develop. Slice them up in salads, or have them with dip. They are also delicious on a sandwich or wrap.
