Cucumber -- a first timer for us

We tried our hands at growing cucumber, a favorite of the entire family, for the first time this year.Cucumber were fuss free in terms of maintenance although we did have the instance of mexican cucumber beetle eating out the young leaf shoots and flowers.Sadly we did not have resolution to control them but they did not do major damage to the plants.Apart from this.we did not face any other problems and the plants started producing after a good two months of growing period. We had a modest harvest out of the three plants we grew, but these fruits were the freshest cucumbers I have ever tasted in my life.Some pictures taken then and now are here below for the record..
