Growing Tips
- •Consistent watering prevents bitter taste
- •Trellis vining types to save space and keep fruits clean
- •Harvest frequently — every 1-2 days during peak. Fruit can go from ideal to over-ripe in 24 hours of hot weather.
- •Morning harvest gives crispest cucumbers
- •Yellowing = past prime. Once you see any yellow on a cucumber, harvest it IMMEDIATELY. Yellow means the plant has started developing seeds inside — flesh turns spongy and bitter, and the plant slows new fruit production to invest in seed maturation.
