When To Plant Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a delicious fruit that adds crunch and a sweet flavor to any dish. Luckily, if you love cucumbers and want to add them to your garden, you’ll soon realize how easy they are to care for. They’ll thrive as long as you have a lot of water and sun to give them. You’ll need to choose between two forms of cucumber plants. Depending on how your garden is set up and how much space you have available, you’ll either grow cucumber vines or bushes.
