Cucumbers love heat and full sun, thriving in Oklahoma’s summer climate. Vining types will benefit from a trellis, while bush varieties are great for containers or small spaces. Keep them watered consistently to avoid bitterness. Harvest regularly to encourage more fruit. Great fresh, pickled, or just sliced with a sprinkle of salt.
