Japanese cucumber are vining plants that produce abundant 10-12 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 1.5-2 feet apart and water regularly.

Harvest cucumbers before they are too mature and the seeds inside are over developed. Slice them up in salads, or have them with dip. They are also delicious on a sandwich or wrap. Chilled cucumber soup is delicious on a hot summer day.
