Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Full sun supports vigorous vines and steady fruit production.

Soil: Use fertile, loose, well-drained soil with compost or other organic matter.

Watering: Keep evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruit development, to reduce bitter or misshapen fruit.

Sowing Depth: Sow about one-half to one inch deep after soil warms.

Spacing: Space bush types about eighteen to twenty-four inches apart; vining types can be closer when trained on a trellis.

Germination: Warm soil commonly supports germination in three to ten days.

Harvesting Time: Pick fruits while firm and appropriately sized for the variety to encourage continued production.

Days to Harvest: Many cucumber varieties begin harvest about fifty to seventy days after sowing.

Plant Height: Bush types stay compact; vining cucumbers can climb several feet on support.

Care Tips: Avoid disturbing roots, provide trellis support where useful, and harvest frequently once production begins.
