Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring/Summer: Plant cucumber seeds after the last frost when the soil temperature is at least 60°F (15°C).

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep in the soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds about 12 inches apart in rows that are 36-48 inches apart to provide enough room for the vines to grow.
• Light: Cucumber plants need full sun to thrive, so choose a site that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Prefers loamy, well-draining soil rich in organic matter with a neutral pH (6.0-7.0).

Watering and Care

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Use a drip irrigation system to keep the soil moist and the foliage dry, which helps prevent fungal diseases.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer at planting and once during the growing season to support strong, healthy growth.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the roots cool during the hot summer months.
• Pruning: Regularly prune side shoots and keep the plants well-spaced to encourage airflow and reduce disease risks.

Harvesting
