Planting & Care
Sow Brown Russian cucumber seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, when soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, thinning to 36-48 inches apart once seedlings are established. Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb, which helps save space and keeps fruit clean. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
For best results, water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can promote disease. Fertilize lightly when vines begin to run. Harvest cucumbers regularly when they reach desired size to encourage continued production. With proper care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of these unique and flavorful cucumbers.
