Cucumber:
A popular salad vegetable, the cucumber is a fast growing climbing plant that definitely
prefers the heat. Each plant will provide a number of fresh cucumbers throughout the grow-
ing season.
Planting:
Make sure that the plant is exposed to full sun, and decide before hand if you would like to
allow the plant to climb up a trellis or grow on the ground. This is especially important in
yourSFGlayout,asatrellisgrownplantwouldbebestplacedatthebackoftheSFGsothat
it does not 'shade-out' the other crops.
Plant 1 or 2 seeds or seedlings to the square.
If planting from seed then grow inside in a warm place (65 degrees is needed for germina-
tion) and do not plant outside until at least two weeks after the last frost.
