This is a shot of one of my cucmber plants. This year I decided to have them climb as opposed to growing flat on the ground. They seem to be doing great as well. Do you grow cucmbers as a climbing plant or flat on the ground?

Your cucumbers look so good. I wish I had room to plant them.Most of the people that have cucumber plants here where I live just let them grow on the ground.

They take a lot of space lying on the ground.
So I wanted to try having them climb at least
once and I love the space saving so fgar this way.

You will have us all ready for a nice big salad seeing all the great veggies. It is really nice and looks like you did a great job. My dad grows them as the climbing plants. I did not grow any this year. Appreciate you sharing the pictures too!2 people like this

You are welcomed as well. I love taking and sharing my photos here all the time. I give a lot of my fruits and veggies to friends, neighbors, and my wifes work as well each and every year.

Showoff! 
My cukes this year seem to be growing in slo-mo, keeping pace with the carrots.
Beans are doing good, though.
I just have a small plot so I have them growing up an obelisk... er... if they ever get growing.
I had many cukes last summer from one or two plants growing this way.

Those cucumber are gorgeous, granpa. I think I´ll make mine climb next season. We are in winter in my country but I´m looking forward to have a nice veggie garden.

They take up so much space I tried them as climbers this year and I love it so far. Now the picking will be the tyrue test as they will be hidden I am sure.

When I used to grow cukes, I would have them climb the lattice to keep them clean. Don't know why I stopped growing them. Maybe I'll make room for them next spring.

Oh my goodness! Your cucumbers look so good! Ours didn't do well at all this year. It rained so much that we had a late start getting our garden out then when we got it planted it just rained and rained and rained. Our tomatoes didn't turn out either..I'm so disappointed in our garden this year.
