Cucumbers Overview
Cucumbers are so easy to grow and most people really enjoy them, so it is a great addition to your pantry. I have had cucumber harvests as early as March, so if you are able to plant early and the weather is good, you can start harvesting this early into the spring season.Fall Harvest As Well?
Yes, you can sneak in a Fall Harvest if you plant in August and have the additional harvest of cucumber until the weather cools off. Since our weather in Southern California is so mild at times, you might get a couple of months of cucumbers before frost and less sunlight gets to the plants. When it does, rip them up and start your winter crop in its place.
