Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring/Summer: Plant after the last frost when the soil temperature has reached at least 65°F (18°C) for optimal growth.
Planting Details
- Depth: Sow seeds about 1 inch deep in well-prepared soil.
- Spacing: Space plants about 12-18 inches apart in rows or use a trellis system for compact vine growth.
- Light: Full sun is essential, so plant in a location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter is ideal. The pH should be slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0).
Watering and Care
- Consistent Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cucumbers need about 1-2 inches of water per week.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, reduce weeds, and keep the soil cool.
- Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer or compost, especially in the early growth stages and before fruiting. This will promote healthy growth and higher yields.
- Pruning: Remove any dead leaves and keep the vines well-maintained to improve airflow and prevent disease.
Harvesting
- Maturity: This variety matures in 50-55 days, making it one of the quicker cucumbers to harvest.
- Harvesting Size: Cucumbers are ready to harvest when they reach about 3-5 inches in length. For pickling, it’s best to harvest before they become too large and seedy.
- Regular Harvesting: Harvesting cucumbers frequently encourages continuous production, so pick them regularly to keep the plants producing for a longer period.
Uses
- Pickling: Pick A Bushel F1 cucumbers are specially bred for pickling. Their firm texture and mild flavor make them perfect for making crisp, delicious pickles.
- Fresh Eating: Though best for pickling, Pick A Bushel F1 cucumbers can also be used for salads or as fresh snacks. Their crispness adds a nice texture to any dish.
- Preserving: These cucumbers are perfect for canning and freezing, ensuring that you can enjoy the taste of summer all year round.
