Cucumber
This variety is a pickling cucumber. Cucumber plants need space, sun and warmth to grow. They are creepers that can either be grown up supports or trail along the ground. Their long trumpet flowers are bee-friendly. Although they can be eaten raw, we recommend they are pickled before being eaten.
How to use it
The humble cucumber needs no introduction. This popular salad 'fruit' is full of fiber and water, and helps flush out toxins. You can also add cucumber to juices, as a garnish in summer drinks, or even mash up and apply as a face mask.
