Think ahead: get cucumbers off to a strong start. Here’s how
Some of our favorite cucumbers varieties that aren’t typically green:
Lemon – Yes, those are supposed to ripen yellow (we make a few cents if you use this link)
Miniature White – they mature white
Armenian – elongated light green fruits (we also make a few cents if you use this link)
Poona Kheera – interesting and different, with its russet skin. It looks like a baked potato!
Keep your cucumbers happy all summer with proper watering and feedings. They will reward you with a bountiful harvest.
