It is easy to grow; simply direct-sow the seeds in spring after the soil has warmed, or begin them indoors 4 weeks before last frost. Work the soil well, amending it with organics so that it is rich and consistently moist. Then set 3 or 4 plants on each hill, mulch them in well, and keep them watered and fed throughout the growing season. You can pick the cukes smaller if desired. It's that simple!
Selecting the best varieties of vegetables to grow each year should include not only flavor, yield, and growth habit, but also disease resistance. Disease resistant varieties will suffer less damage from diseases than plants with no resistance. Find resistant varieties for issues you have had in your garden or those that are common in your region. Your local Extension office is a great resource for more information.
