Climbing Cucumbers

Early in Spring I planted Cucumber seeds into my plant tray and put it in my room. I sprayed water on them everyday to help them grow.

I waited for 3 weeks until the shoots started to grow. The cucumber plant grew towards the sun, so I had to turn the tray around 90 degrees every two days.

We built a climbing frame for the cucumbers.

We planted the baby cucumber plants outside in early May
They grew bigger and bigger every day.

Due to the hot weather I had to water them lots through the summer. In June they had already reached the top of the climbing frame. I harvested my first Cucumber in July and Mummy and Daddy have been eating them at lunch time.

I’m growing food for my family.

Cucumber plants are fast growers, so watch out!
