Cucumbers of many types and varieties grow easily in sunny gardens, producing bountiful crops for many weeks in summer. Choose varieties according to their growth habits and how you plan to use them. Pickling, slicing, long (English, Persian, Armenian, Asian), round (lemon).

Valued as a key ingredient in authentic Southern gumbo and other soups and stews, okra can also be roasted, pickled, dipped, or grilled. Despite being slow to evolve from seeding to fruiting, pods form repeatedly and quickly in late summer.

Green, gold, yellow, striped or round zucchini may be the most commonly grown summer squashes, but scalloped pattypan, straightneck, and crookneck are just as easy to include in the summer garden. Some are smooth-skinned others are bumpy; all have soft skin and can be eaten raw and unpeeled.
