🌱 How to Plant Cucumbers
1. Choose the Right Variety
There are two main types:
Slicing cucumbers – for fresh eating
Pickling cucumbers – smaller, ideal for pickles
Also choose based on your space:
Bush types – good for containers/small gardens
Vining types – need trellises or space to sprawl
---
2. When to Plant
After the last frost, when soil is at least 60–70°F (16–21°C)
Cucumbers love warm weather, so don’t plant too early
---
3. Where to Plant
Full sun (6–8 hours daily)
Well-drained, fertile soil
Add compost or aged manure before planting
---
4. How to Plant
From Seeds (Direct Sowing):
Sow seeds 1 inch deep
Space 12 inches apart if growing on a trellis
Space 3–4 feet apart if letting vines sprawl
From Transplants:
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before planting outside
Harden off seedlings before transplanting
---
5. Watering & Care
Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy
Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds
Water at the base to avoid mildew on leaves
---
6. Support (Optional)
Trellising saves space, improves airflow, and keeps fruit clean
Use a sturdy trellis or cage
---
7. Fertilizing
Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when vines begin to run
Don’t over-fertilize—too much nitrogen = fewer fruits
---
8. Harvesting
Harvest when cucumbers are firm and green
Pick slicing cucumbers at 6–8 inches long
Pick pickling cucumbers at 2–4 inches long
Check daily—they grow fast!
