    🌱 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!
