Cucumbers From The Garden

Cucumbers are a very easy vegetable to grow. I plant my seeds in hills. Each hill is about six feet apart. If you plant a bush cucumber, you could probably plant the hills about three or four feet apart. I put about ten seeds in each hill, and when the plants get about four inches tall I keep the three nicest looking and pull the others out. Putting mulch around the hills keeps the cucumbers out of the dirt and protects them from rotting. Cucumbers need lots of water.
