A Container Garden Superstar

My cucumber plant fascinates me. It grows so fast and gulps down water like nobody’s business.  It seems to sprout cucumbers in a blink of an eye.  The first year I grew one, my husband thought I was playing a joke on him and had placed a store bought cucumber on the plant.  I insisted that it was real and asked him to pick it up.  Needless to say, he was shocked and amazed that the tiny plant we had purchased,  could produce such a big beautiful cucumber.  Believe it or not, these cucumbers do not require much. A sunny area and plenty of water is really all it needs to flourish. As always, prepare your pot so it has proper drainage. For growing in containers, use a Bush Cucumber variety. This year I chose Bush Champion and Picklebush.
