Description:
Cucumbers are warm-season crops that traditionally have required a lot of garden space. Newer compact varieties may be grown in small spaces and even in containers. Cucumbers may be eaten fresh, or as a pickled product. Slicing and pickling varieties are available. Cucumbers have separate male and female flowers.
