Answer 3

Hey there guitarman054 here, that is over kill on the growing of cucumbers, but what I will do is take a bunch, LOL.  No really, like I do when we have to large of crop Oranges I put as many as I can in a trash can lined of course and take them to work with me and give them to my fellow workers.

Answer 4

Yes, it's a very good idea to donate them. There are many places, other than a food pantry too. Like homeless shelters, women's shelters, group homes, churches, and such. Also, there's a thing called Freecycle, where you can post things you want to give away. Each county in every state has one, so check it out. You could also put them in plastic bags, drive to your local Wal-Mart, then put them into the open windows of all the parked cars! You could also call up a boy or girl scout group and see if they'd like to sell them to raise money for their group. Of course, all of this would take time, so it depends on how much you want to invest in getting rid of your windfall. Personally, I slice them up, cut up an onion, mix some mayo & sour cream in, add a dash of dill weed, and chill in the fridge. Good stuff! Or just slice them and dip them into ranch dressing for a great snack. Next year, remember how many cukes each hill produced, then plant only the amount of hills that you can handle. This happens with tomatoes and zuchinni too, so be careful to close your windows when parking at Wal-Mart! <*)))><

Answer 12

Farm Stand, right outside in your front yard!  Sell them at a steal of a price and you'll see them go....................because Cucumbers don't have much holding time, freezing time and unless you like jarring pickles until Thanksgiving, I think this would be a fun option.  Get your family involved and take turns watching the stand, you never know, this could be your summer calling for extra income.  Good Luck, I love cucumbers but good Lord, I don't know what I could do with 200 of them!
