Sunlight: Requires full sun, with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best growth.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Enrich soil with compost or organic matter before planting.
When to Plant: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 70°F.
Direct Sowing: Plant seeds 1/2–1 inch deep, spacing them 12–18 inches apart in rows 36–48 inches apart.
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost for an early start. Transplant carefully to avoid root disturbance.
Succession Planting: Sow every 2–3 weeks for a continuous harvest during the growing season.
Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting and mid-season to encourage strong growth and fruit production.
Training: Use a trellis to support vines and improve airflow, reducing disease risks and making harvesting easier.
Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for cucumber beetles and powdery mildew. Use organic treatments or row covers as necessary.
When to Harvest: Harvest when cucumbers are 4–6 inches long, firm, and dark green, typically 50–60 days after planting.
How to Harvest: Gently twist or cut cucumbers from the vine to avoid damaging plants. Harvest frequently to encourage continued production.
Seed Collection: Allow a few cucumbers to fully ripen and turn yellow. Scoop out seeds, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
