Care Tips
Cucumbers come in 2 main types, Outdoor or “ridge” and Greenhouse. Outdoor cucumbers are generally rough skinned or spiny and are more tolerant of cooler temperatures. Greenhouse cucumbers are the ones you will most likely see at your greengrocers and as the name suggests need to be grown in greenhouses or undercover. To grow with any success they need to be in a sunny sheltered location with rich, fertile soil.
