Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring/Summer: Start planting after the last frost and when soil temperatures are around 65°F (18°C) or higher.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep.
• Spacing: Space plants about 12 inches apart to give them room to grow and produce high-quality fruit.
• Light: Needs full sun, ideally 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Soil: Prefers loamy, well-draining soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Adding compost will improve soil quality.

Watering and Care

• Watering: Water consistently to keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering. Cucumber plants prefer a deep watering once or twice a week.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize with an organic balanced fertilizer or compost before planting, and apply a side dressing of compost after the first few weeks of growth.
• Trellising: Though a bush variety, using a trellis or cage helps keep the plants off the ground, improving airflow and preventing disease.

Harvesting

• Maturity: This cucumber variety reaches maturity in about 50-55 days after planting.
• Size for Harvest: Harvest cucumbers when they are 6-8 inches long for the best flavor and texture. Overripe cucumbers can become soft and lose their sweet taste.
• Regular Harvesting: Pick cucumbers regularly to encourage continuous fruit production and maintain the plant’s health.

Uses

• Pickling: Though not traditionally bred for pickling, they can still be used for quick pickles or refrigerator pickles if desired.
• Smoothies & Juices: Great for adding a refreshing element to smoothies or juices due to their mild flavor and high water content.
