@sweetestglo-eu, I like the content of your post on cucumber cultivation and health benefits of cuccumber itself.
In Serbia, cuccumber is called krastavac. The Serbs don't joke with the fruit/vegetable (I would still prefer to call it a fruit, because it contains seeds). Cucumber is included in most of the salad mix in Serbia.

@maryfavour for @redfishpillar.
Duly noted ma... Some of the content I know of them due to the fact I'm an agric student and also my Grand dad had kidney stone and also a diabetic patient... Some of it I knew of them and the reference should have been there which is my agric text book that talks about Annual and perennial fruits and vegetables. For the italics I have stopped, seemed awkward when I used it. I appreciate the Advise. Thank you ma.

Hi @sweetestglo-eu @praise-eu
Wow.. Thanks for watching me with your binoculars ... yes enjoy!
I love cucumbers. But the problem i have is, it gets spoils so easily as i dont eat much.
Yes it does, still experimenting how to stop it from rotting. But once you buy it, just wash the ones you want to eat immediately and leave the others unwashed and make sure they are exposed in the air do not keep it where it can be moist, fridge is a no no ..more like an open space is advisable. Thanks for reading dear.
This post is as cool as cucumber. Oh yeah, pun intended. Never really a fan of it, but I may reconsider seeing its benefits.

thanks for sharing, i love cucumbers. I learnt it is one of the vegetables for weight loss. Dont want to be fat, so i eat it everyday but not much now, at atime i had to be careful cos in my area, it is mostly sold by people from the north, so a colleague was like i should slow down on it before bokoharan people start injecting things into it and then give it to northerns to bring for sale.lol. I didnt buy her idea but somehow, without knowing it, i stopped. In all, i still love it and has not seen anyone taking it who does not look good. i will start again, thanks for sharingHi @sweetestglo-eu
