I think this one might have been planted indoors first. I was trying to experiment with seedlings as I was told cucumbers do not like to be transplanted. @gjones

I didn't realize they were so easy to germinate. This is my second year planting cucumbers, but now I know! I am looking forward to my first fruit as well! @gjones @lesliecole49

Mine are entirely volunteers this year. Composted the area last year and the composted seeds sprouted! Works for me. 😁 @kaigia @gjones

I was so stoked to get my first ever cucumber too. Till loving them, but looking for different ways to eat them besides pickling them as, I Dont eat a lot of pickles

@gjones, I guess I'm giving the plant enough water. I was worried because so many of the female flowers were shrivelling and producing any fruit.

@lesliecole49, yes, this is so exciting! Such a different feeling than seeing flowers mature. I can hardly wait to taste it.
