Planting Instructions
When to Plant:
- Cucumbers should be directly sown a 3-4 weeks after the last frost in the spring.
- They can be started indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost, using a grow light and seed starting soil mix.
How to Grow:
- You can amend your soil with compost or aged manure prior to planting. Preferably in the fall so it will over-winter.
- Plant ½ inch deep and about 1 inch apart.
- Alternatively, you can create hills 4 – 6 feet apart, with 6-8 seeds per hill. Cut the three weakest plants once seedling emerge for this method.
- Make sure to keep soil moist, avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
- Germination generally takes around 10 days when temperatures are ~70 degrees.
- They are vine plants, so setting up a trellis may be beneficial depending on your garden.
When to Harvest:
- Harvest before they are fully mature, as cucumbers tend to get seedy once they’re at their largest.
- They grow very fast, so be sure to check often to see if it’s time to harvest.
- Make sure to cut them off the vine, as pulling them off can damage or break the vine, preventing further production.
