Planting & Care
Sow Lemon 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 saves space and keeps fruits clean.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when vines begin to run. Harvest fruits regularly when they are young and tender, about 2-3 inches in diameter, to encourage continued production. Monitor for common cucumber pests and diseases, and practice crop rotation to maintain plant health.
