Days to Harvest 40 to 85 days depending on what variety you're growing. They need full-sun and consistent water, well-draining fertile soil pH of 7.0, fertilizer should be a balanced fertilizer or compost of your choice. - Note: Pay attention to common diseases such as powdery mildew, bacterial wilt, cucurbit scab, root rot fusarium wilt, phytophthora crown and cucumber mosaic virus. (CMV) See list below for Cucumber Varieties and their use: - Slicing Cucumbers: great for eating fresh or used in salads, they are juicy and crispy these have a very thin skin. - Pickling Cucumbers have a thicker skin which is used for pickling great to store. I listed some of my favorites to grow at home: - Bush Champion 55 days to harvest grows well in small spaces CMV resistant and are great producers. - Arkansas little leaf 55 days to harvest, highly resistant to bacterial wilt, mildews. Scab leaf spots very small plant large harvest! Which ones are you growing this season?!

I hope everyone is growing amazing things out in the garden, will love to see everyone's garden updates.

Use what you have at home that you don’t use and repurpose it into your garden!

I was just connecting with @Katie Marie about the nuisance of having millions of these in my garden and inside my raised beds. However, I found out that "helicopter seeds" are edible and extremely healthy but, need to be eating while they are green and fresh. they can be eaten raw by humans. it also provides food for wildlife and squirrels, chipmunks and birds! Wow thats great news so i can collect some seeds and place inside my bird feeder etc.
