Welcome back to the Grow Your Self podcast. Today I'm talking about one of my favorite plants to grow in the garden, mostly because it never gets wasted. I really think there's nothing better than a cucumber straight from the vine in the garden. We're going to learn why it's so fun to grow your own and how to do so in today's episode.

But first, ‘cool as a cucumber’ where did that even come? Physicians in the 17th Century would prescribe a fever patient to go lay down on a bed of cucumbers. No really, I'm serious.

In this episode we will discuss:

• History of cucumbers and their tasty transformation to pickles.
• How cucumbers benefit our health in so many different ways.
• The 5 States where cucumbers are mainly grown.
• Tips on how to grow cucumbers in your own kitchen garden.
• Food fight between cucumbers and zucchini.
