How to pick and store cucumbers.
Cucumbers are usually ready from mid-July to early August. However, cucumbers yield early as their name suggests. You’ll want to look for the dark green cucumbers free of yellowing or soft, mushy spots. To store them, just put them in your fridge after a good washing and thorough drying.
