Hey everyone,

It’s that exciting time of year again, early harvesting for your baby cucumbers has officially arrived! These small cucumbers are best picked when they are about 2-4 inches long, which helps ensure they remain tender and flavorful. By harvesting early, you’ll also encourage your plants to produce more fruit throughout the season.

Here are a few tips to help with your early harvest:
Check your garden daily, as baby cucumbers can grow rapidly in warm weather.
Gently twist or snip the cucumbers off the vine to avoid damaging the plant.
Harvesting in the morning can help keep the cucumbers crisp and fresh.

We sourced this helpful information from our website and the University of New Hampshire Extension:

Happy harvesting, and remember, frequent picking leads to a more bountiful yield!

We sincerely hope that everyone enjoyed a safe, memorable, and spectacular 4th of July celebration, filled with joy, fir...
