Project Cucumbers are grown for eating fresh or preserving as pickles. They must be grown in warm temperatures and full sunlight, and will not stand frost. Cucumbers

mature quickly and are best suited to large gardens but can be grown in small areas if caged or trellised. Cucumbers do best in loose, sandy loam soil but can be grown in any well drained soil. Remove rocks, large sticks and trash before

preparing the soil. Leave fine pieces of plant material such as dead grass and small weeds. They will help enrich the soil when turned under. Spade the soil to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. This is about the depth reached by most shovels or spading forks.

Turn each shovel of soil completely over so all plant materials are covered with soil.

Some English farming proverbs. He who does not rise early never does a good day’s work. 起床不早, 一天的工作干不好。 Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the lark. 随羔羊就寝, 与云雀同起。

A barley-corn is better than a diamond to a cock. 对一只公鸡来说，一颗麦粒优于一颗 钻石。 The cuckoo comes in April, and stays the month of May; sings a song at Midsummer, and then goes away. 布谷鸟，四月来，五月一直在，仲夏 唱歌，然后就离开。

Always take out the meal-tub, and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom. 取粮不储粮，桶底粮光光。 No mill, no meal. 不磨面就没有饭吃。 Sow nothing, reap nothing. 春不播，秋不收。
