    Well, in my experience, cucumbers can be a bit finicky. If you overwater them, they start looking off, and if you underwater them, same thing. But when you strike the right balance, it’s really rewarding. I’ve also noticed that where I live, it hits 100° in the summer, and after too much exposure to that kind of heat, the flavor tends to suffer. Fortunately, living in a subtropical climate means my growing season starts a lot earlier than most, and I take full advantage by getting them going as soon as the conditions allow. This year, I must’ve nailed it—my plants are over 4 feet tall, climbing up a trellis, and have already produced a ton of cucumbers. Safe to say, I finally found the sweet spot. Oh, and don’t forget to fertilize—makes all the difference.
