Trick
Most cucumber varieties are called " coureses ," meaning they produce long stems and can easily occupy 2-3 m² ! Not very practical for small vegetable gardens! But it is possible to get around the problem by encouraging your cucumber plants to grow taller, by climbing a fence for example. Help your plants position themselves on their support, and the tendrils of your cucumbers will do the rest. This practical and simple method gives the fruits better exposure to light, prevents them from being soiled, and makes harvesting them much easier... and it also works for gherkins !
