Cucumbers are not hard to grow if you provide good soil, plenty of moisture, and full sun, wait for soil and weather to warm before planting, and use fabric row covers if pests are a problem.
Direct-sow seeds in a sunny spot after all danger of frost are past or start indoors and transplant when the first true leaf appears.
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
