6. Pick cucumbers from the plants carefully.
You don’t want to rip them off the vine. Use a pair of scissors or knife to take the cucumbers off. By ripping them off the vine could damage it. If you want to continue to grow cucumbers throughout the entire summer, it won’t happen if you rip them off the vine.
Since you took the time to grow the cucumbers, you need to take that same care to take them off the vine. When cutting the cucumbers off the vine, cut above the stem. That takes time because you will need to know where the stem is on the cucumber.
Once you take the cucumbers off the vine, you can enjoy them any way you want to. More cucumbers can begin to sprout because you took care to not damage the vine.
Depending on how many cucumbers have bloomed, you will need to eat the cucumbers within a week.
