Extra Tips for Growing Healthy Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a nutritious choice — they’re rich in potassium and low in sodium, making them great for a healthy diet. Even their peel, when washed properly, contains beneficial fiber and beta-carotene.

To keep your cucumber plants happy:

• Use well-drained, fertile soil
• Avoid waterlogging or overly salty soils, which harm plant growth
• Ensure your plants get plenty of sunlight
