Ever bitten into a bitter cucumber? Here’s the trick: skip the calendar and check your cukes for a deep green color and a firm (but not rock-hard) feel. If they’re turning yellow or feel squishy, they’re past their prime. Harvesting often keeps your plants happy and producing more, so check every couple of days. Pro tip: use scissors, not your hands, to avoid hurting the plant. Your salads will thank you! #Business #Industry #gardeningtips
