| My question on Cucumbers I planted it the from a pot and I transferred to the ground I added plant stand and I noticed the flowers and already I see the small cucumber. It is a creeping vine that goes up the stands supports or are they supposed to be on the ground? David Gonzalez From Miami, Fla |

| They are grown both ways, either allowed to spread across the ground or trained up a trellis like you've got. I always trellis mine, they seem happier that way and take up less room. |
|
| If you see the little coiling tendrils, they are what the vine uses to support itself on a trellis. Cucumbers are straighter on a trellis, and not prone to problems from contact with the ground. |
