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.
- Regular Harvesting: For continuous production, pick cucumbers every few days. This encourages the plant to produce more fruit throughout the growing season.
