Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring/Summer: Plant cucumbers after the last frost when soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F (18°C) for optimal growth.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow cucumber seeds about 1 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space the seeds about 12 inches apart in rows, or use a trellis system to grow vertically and save space.
• Light: Full sun is essential for cucumbers, so plant them in an area that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight each day.
• Soil: Choose well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 6.0 to 7.0) for the best results.

Watering and Care

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Cucumbers require about 1-2 inches of water per week. Watering deeply ensures that the roots stay hydrated.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, reduce weeds, and maintain soil temperature.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer or organic compost to promote healthy growth. Cucumbers benefit from additional nutrients, especially as they start to flower and fruit.
• Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged leaves to help with airflow and to prevent disease.

Harvesting

• Maturity: The Garden Sweet Burpless cucumber is ready for harvest in approximately 50-55 days after sowing.
• Size: Cucumbers are typically harvested at 6-8 inches in length for the best flavor and texture. For optimal crispness, harvest before they become overly mature.
