Cucumbers are my favorite vegetable crop to grow because they germinate quickly, grow fast and produce fruit early. In addition, I love the fact that I can eat cucumbers in salads and pickle them for use in the future. Cucumbers are an ideal crop for beginner gardeners because they are easy to grow, have a high probability of success and produce a plentiful bounty. Read on to learn about how to successfully grow cucumbers in your garden.
Originating in India, cucumbers have been cultivated for over 3000 years. There are three main varieties of cucumbers: pickling, slicing and seedless. Within these varieties, cucumbers can be further broken down into vining or bush varieties. A vining cucumber can climb up to six feet with support or spread along the ground without support. A bush variety cucumber takes up only two to three square feet growing on the ground as opposed to six feet or more for a vining type. Bush varieties are good for container gardens.
