My youngest son is in his first garden, and a raised bed at that !
His cukes weren't all that productive because they weren't getting enough direct sunshine, because of shade from the zucchini leaves,
but he wouldn't consider a trellis.
Yeah, no spare cukes for me, but I did get a zucchini out it ! LMAO !
I grow pickling cucumbers. They are crazy productive...and you don’t have to peel them....Wash & Slice!! Got 100’s from a few plants. It was like....”God...Make them stop!!”
