Planting & Care

Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when soil temperature is at least 70°F (21°C). Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb, which helps keep fruits straight and reduces disease. Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer according to package instructions. Harvest cucumbers regularly when they reach desired size to encourage continued production. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to maintain soil health.
