Description
Cucumber
Whether added to a salad or sandwich, pickled with flavorsome spices or popped into a summer cocktail, the humble cucumber is a versatile and refreshing crop. The plant makes an attractive feature in the garden, with its quirky fruit and pretty yellow flowers. In addition, cucumber’s climbing nature makes it highly space-efficient, so it’s worth making room for a couple of plants when planning your summer garden, even in containers on the patio. Although cucumbers can be left to trail on the ground, it is much more space efficient to grow them vertically and better protects the fruit.
