# I planted some cucumbers in my garden bed and I’m new to growing…

I planted some cucumbers in my garden bed and I’m new to growing edible plants. Does anyone have a good care guide to share? Ex. Fertilizing, treating in the frost, pest prevention, keeping it safe from animals, etc.  
Any tips and tricks are appreciated!! ^^

Just water every day and pick the first flowers off and then it will grow taller and when it grows taller it will produce more flowers which =more cucumbers

I actually just took my cucumber plants down this past week. I’ve gotten about 50+ cucumbers just letting it grow! I was starting to get cucumber moths these past weeks so we decided to take it out. It grew to be very huge. I’d say the length would roughly be 12+ feet. I’m pretty satisfied with this summers growing season. I can’t wait to grow more vegetables again in the spring ^^
