Many gardeners and summer residents want the cucumbers they grow to please them with a harvest until late autumn.

So it will be for everyone, if you use one simple but very effective trick. Pay attention to the leaves.

But first, as seasoned experts in this field say, you should reap the rewards in a timely manner.

Well, now about the leaves. Experts say: to get a good harvest, you should thin them out in a timely manner, remove those that grow below the fruits.
