"Cucumbers are so satisfyingly crisp and refreshing, with a flavor that lends itself to so many dishes and even beverages. A quick skim through any list of tasty cucumber recipes will get you inspired to whip up everything from salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls to sauces, seltzers, and cocktails. And that's before you even dive into the world of pickling."
"Cucumbers are one of the fastest growing vegetables you can add to your garden. "Garden" doesn't have to mean outdoors, either. It's especially helpful to know going into winter months that you can in fact grow cucumbers inside. You just need to create the right conditions. First, get to know different cucumber varieties. Certain types don't need pollination, making them significantly easier to grow indoors."
"For example, English cucumbers are distinct with a mild, sweet profile; English varieties Tyria and Sweet Success are parthenogenetic and don't require pollination so would be great indoor-garden contenders. Other parthenogenetic types include Socrates and Katrina, "beit alpha" varieties that are sweeter than others; and pickling varieties Excelsior and H-19 Little Leaf. The latter is a "semi-bush" variety, too, meaning it won't need to climb as much as other vining varieties, so you may not have to add a trellis to your container."
Cucumbers offer crisp, refreshing flavor suited to salads, sandwiches, sauces, beverages, and pickling, and have surged in popularity via social media. Growing cucumbers at home solves availability issues and is feasible indoors with the right conditions. Cucumbers are among the fastest-growing vegetables and can be cultivated inside during winter if provided appropriate light, warmth, and container support. Selecting parthenogenetic varieties removes the need for pollination; examples include English varieties Tyria and Sweet Success, Socrates, Katrina, "beit alpha" types, and pickling varieties Excelsior and H-19 Little Leaf, some of which are semi-bush.
