Harvesting Cucumbers
Identify the Right Time: Cucumbers should be harvested when they are firm, evenly green, and have reached their ideal size. For slicing cucumbers, this is typically 6-8 inches long, while pickling varieties are best at 2-4 inches long.
Check Daily: Cucumbers can grow rapidly, so it's important to check the plants daily to harvest them at their peak freshness.
Use Clean Tools: Always use clean, sharp scissors or a knife to cut the cucumbers from the vine. Leave a small stem attached to prolong their freshness.
Handle with Care: Handle cucumbers gently to prevent bruising or damage to the skin, which can affect their quality and shelf life.
