Remember - cucumbers are a natural diuretic and they have other health benefits.
Our dau puts sliced cucumbers in her water. Refreshing.
I plant English cucumbers on a trellis. My favorite kind and it’s all I plant but seed is hard to find. My local greenhouse actually had started plants this year !!
For eating, I make Swedish cucumbers. I remove “most” of the peel and slice them in a large glass jar. Jar has rubber seal and a wire clasp but any jar will do. I also slice a fresh onion thin and alternate a few onion slices with the cucumbers. Boil vinegar (white or apple cider) with white sugar. No water. For my large jar (it holds 3-4 cucumbers) I use 3/4 cup vinegar and same of sugar. Boil gently for 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Add black pepper & salt to taste. Pour warm brine over cukes. It will look skimpy but cukes will make water and cucumbers & onions will submerge overnight in refrigerator.
edit - do not reuse brine because it’s too diluted now.
