Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Plant after the last frost and when the soil has warmed to about 65°F (18°C) or higher.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep.
• Spacing: Space the plants 12 inches apart to allow for healthy growth.
• Light: Requires full sun, at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0) is ideal for growth.

Watering and Care

• Watering: Ensure consistent watering to keep the soil moist. Cucumber plants need deep watering once or twice a week to thrive.
• Mulching: Applying mulch around the plants will help retain moisture, reduce weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Fertilizing: Use an organic fertilizer or compost for a healthy soil environment, applying it before planting and possibly as a side dressing as the plants grow.
• Trellising: While White Wonder is a compact cucumber, supporting the vines with a trellis or cage helps improve airflow, keeps fruits off the ground, and promotes healthier plants.

Harvesting

• Maturity: This variety is ready for harvest in about 50-55 days after planting.
• Size for Harvest: Harvest cucumbers when they reach about 6-8 inches in length for the best flavor and texture.
• Regular Harvesting: Picking cucumbers regularly encourages the plant to continue producing and prevents over-ripening.

Uses

• Fresh Eating: Perfect for fresh consumption in salads, sandwiches, or simply enjoyed on their own. The White Wonder Cucumber offers a delicate and mild flavor that enhances any dish.
• Pickling: While it is primarily enjoyed fresh, these cucumbers can also be used for quick pickles or refrigerator pickles due to their firm texture.
• Smoothies & Juices: Add a refreshing twist to your smoothies or juices with this cucumber’s mild flavor and high water content.
