Cucumber

This is a vegetable that is mostly used in salads and apparently said to be good for the Nails, Skin And even Hair
Now let’s talk about how easy it is to grow cucumbers. They are easy to plant, easy to care for as well as harvest. Additionally, they do very well during hot weather. Cucumbers can easily be grown in open fields, in containers or small buckets. As long as you keep them watered and picked, a typical cucumber plant will continue to produce fruit for a number of weeks.

Naturally the cucumber takes between 50 – 60 days from planting to harvest and if taken care of well, you will continue having a good harvest for lots of weeks. Be sure to harvest your cucumbers very early in the morning and at the right time to avoid loss of flavor. Pick at least once after every two days.
Cucumbers need at least 6 – 8 Hours of direct sunlight. There are different varieties of cucumbers. They vary in color, size and different uses. They are great in salads, soups and dips. Many people who grow cucumbers use them to make homemade pickles. They are said to have very high water content and they are very low in calories. If you pick them while they're young, cucumbers can add a nice taste to different foods
