Planting Instructions

Planting Season

  • Spring: Plant seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and when soil temperatures reach between 60°F (15°C) and 70°F (21°C).

Planting Details

  • Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep.
  • Spacing: Space seeds 12 inches apart in rows 36-48 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
  • Light: Requires full sun and at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter for healthy growth.

Watering and Care

  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during fruit development. Use drip irrigation to prevent wetting the foliage, which helps reduce disease risk.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and again during the growing season to support strong growth.
  • Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture, prevent weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperatures.
  • Pruning: Prune the vines to increase airflow and ensure the plants receive adequate sunlight, which can help improve yields and prevent disease.

Harvesting

  • Maturity Time: Marketer cucumbers typically mature in about 50-55 days after sowing.
  • Harvest Method: Harvest cucumbers when they reach approximately 6-8 inches in length. Pick cucumbers regularly to encourage continuous production and ensure they remain tender and sweet.
