Cucumbers are climbing vines that are easy to grow. There are many different varieties from small, yellow lemon cucumbers to long and thin slicers. Cucumbers are usually divided into two groups: the smaller, faster growing varieties used for pickling and the larger varieties used for slicing. Try growing a "burpless" variety, these can be eaten with the skin left on. You get the benefit of the vitamins and minerals present in the cucumber skin without the associated stomach upset.
