Cucumbers
Cucumbers are the fruits of the cucumber plant, a plant that grows fairly quickly if the conditions are right – cucumbers need plenty of water and sunshine, and soil fertility plays a significant role. The plants grow well in soil that is rich in humus and soil that is between pH levels of 6.0 to 7.0 or soil that is slightly acidic but I’ve grown them in soil with pH levels of 7.2 to 8.5 or soil that is more alkaline in content, and they seem to grow well.
