Climbing beans are planted 6-8 seeds around each pole which are later thinned to 3-4 plants if using that method, and 8 inches apart in rows.
Dwarf beans are planted 4-6 inches apart.
Watermelons should be allowed 36 square feet in which to grow. Cucumbers need 4-6 feet each way.
Absolutely. Diabetics can eat cucumbers. They are very low on the simple carbohydrates that they have to control. Since they are a vegetable, actually technically a fruit, they are very healthy to eat for everybody.
If you've seen Paranormal Activity, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Cucumbers are just regular vegies, but soaked in evil, it makes an evil pickle. Trust Me. P.S Get5 er done!
P.S.S. Guess who the worst at guitar hero is... EVERYBODYS MOM!
Yes. For the number of carbohydrates in cucumber, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
Apple cucumber is round like an apple and also grows on a tree.
Lebanese Cucumbers are long like a sausage but grows on the ground.
no- you can eat cucumbers and tomatoes together if you like the taste.
That is as yet undetermined. Much research has been done into it, but the actual compound - if any- that causes a cucumber to be 'burpy' hasn't been isolated. The main study in this area tested various people with different types of cucumber and rated them on a scale of 1-9 for 'burpiness' (That in itself makes for interesting thoughts!). The conclusion was that oriental trellis cucumbers are often marketed as 'burpless', and these have thinner skin so there is possibly something in the skin. These cucumbers are no less bitter than others, so that eliminates that compound as a cause. Some think it may be the presence or lack of seeds that contributes.
Absolutely not. Raw chicken contains Salmonella and there is nothing in a cucumber that would neutralize that. By using the same knife to prepare raw chicken and then ANY vegetable results in cross-contamination.
A cucumber will be ready to pick when it turns a shade of green that is a little bit lighter than one of a pickle. A cucumber is not a small vegetable, nor is it large, so when the cucumber is ready, it will be about the same size as a ripe squash. No offense to cucumbers, but when the are ripe, they tend to look plump and fat.
about 5 -10 pounds depending on if it is freshly used or not.
Most of the basic rolls such as a cucumber roll are cut into six pieces.
A cucumber can grow anywhere from a couple inches, to several feet. It really depends on the climate, dirt, gardener, etc. All sorts of environmental factors go into determining how tall (or long, as the case may be) of a cucumber.
Or, if you have it on it's side, then the height is probably a few inches. It all depends on how you look at it.
My advice would be to purchase, or grow a cucumber, and measure it yourself.
That depends on whether the chicken breasts are bone-in, or boneless. To brine 4 lbs. of bone-in chicken parts (which would include bone-in chicken breasts, thighs, wings, or legs): Dissolve 1/2 cup of table salt* and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in 2 quarts cold water. Submerge chicken parts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse parts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. To brine 4 (6 to 8oz. each) boneless chicken breasts: Dissolve 1/4 cup table salt* and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in 2 quarts cold water. Submerge boneless breasts in brine and refrigerate for 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Rinse boneless chicken breasts thoroughly in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels before continuing with recipe. * If using kosher salt, use two times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if you are using Diamond Crystal brand, and one and a half times the amount of salt called for in each formula above if using Morton's brand.
A cucumber is botanically a fruit, but usually is regarded as a "culinary vegetable". (Tomatoes are another example of something that's technically a fruit, botanically speaking, but is used as a vegetable in cooking.)
Yes. Pick the male flowers (the ones that do not have a tiny cucumber at the bottom) in the morning since they close at noon. Rinse in cool water and place on paper towels. You can place in the refrigerator for use later the same day. Use in salads to add color and a mild cucumber flavor.
4 inch cucumbers weigh approximately .56 ounces each. This means you would need 28-29 cucumbers for 1 pound. Of course, this is an estimate, as the cucumbers can weigh more or less than the .56 ounces.
