Start Seeds Outdoors Plant heat loving cucumbers only when weather is warm and settled and night temperatures stay above 50F (10C). Amend soil well with aged manure or compost. Sow in groups of 2 to 3 seeds 1.5 ft. apart and 1 in. deep with 3 ft. between rows. Thin to 1 strong seedling per group.
Growing Notes Protect seedlings from marauding birds with plastic berry baskets, removing before plants get crowded. Shallow-rooted cucumbers need ample and consistent moisture. Avoid overly wet or dry periods for good quality fruits. Growing cucumber vines up vertical supports gives you long, straight fruits and saves garden space.
Harvest and Use: Cut rather than pull fruits from vines before seeds are large inside. Harvest every few days for longest fruit production. These crunchy, sweet cucumbers are perfect to slice and enjoy for refreshing snacks, in salads and sandwiches. Eat within a day or two of picking for best taste and quality.
