Fresh and crisp, cucumbers are a versatile summer fruit, perfect for adding to salads, flavoring drinks, or pickling. They are full of health benefits too: They're high in vitamins A, B, and C, and can help keep you hydrated due to their high water content. What's more, cucumbers can help fight heartburn when eaten, or relieve sunburn when the flesh is applied to your skin. Cucumber plants are heat-loving, and grow in either bush or vine form. Vining varieties are best for gardens that have room for a trellis. Let us teach you how to grow cucumbers in your garden this summer.
