I've had an amazing harvest with my mini cucumber variety this season—they're super crunchy and perfect for snacking or pickling! However, my current plants are starting to fade, and I'm thinking about planting more cucumbers in the middle of summer. Has anyone done this? I live in Zone 7B, and there's no frost in sight until November. I'm just looking to keep the cucumber goodness going!

Absolutely, I just put some seeds in the ground a few days ago! It’s pretty common to plant cucumbers every 30-50 days. They often have a growth spurt followed by a quick decline, so replanting is a great strategy, especially if yours are starting to die off.
I'm in Zone 7B/8A and I'm actually planting more of everything right now, including cucumbers. Just be sure to choose a variety with a shorter harvest time; you should be able to enjoy another round of cucumbers before the cold hits!
Last summer, I planted some cucumbers in early August, and I was still enjoying fresh ones by late September, right up until frost. Definitely worth a shot!
