When I put in my first garden many years ago, I decided to plant cucumbers because the whole family liked them. Not wanting to run short and not knowing how many each plant would produce, I planted six hills of cucumbers with three or four plants per hill. That summer we ate cucumbers in many forms, we made pickles, we gave them to friends and family. It got to the point where even my daughter's pony got sick of eating cucumbers. Many ended up on the compost pile.
