PLANTING

  • Cucumbers are seeded or transplanted outside in the ground.
  • Cucumbers are extremely susceptible to climate damage; the soil must be at least 65ºF for germination.
  • For an early crop, start cucumber seeds indoors about 3 weeks before you transplant them in the ground.
  • Before you plant outside, select a site with full sun.
  • Ideally, soil should be neutral or slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.0. Improve clay soil by adding organic matter. Improve dense, heavy soil by adding peat, compost or rotted manure. Light, sandy soils are preferred for northern gardens.
  • Mix in compost and/or aged manure before planting to a depth of 2 inches and work into the soil 6 to 8 inches deep. Make sure that soil is moist and well-drained, not soggy.
  • Sow seeds in rows, 1 inch deep and 6 to 10 inches apart.
  • If you are transplanting seedlings, plant them 12 inches apart.

    CARE

    • When planting seeds in the ground, cover with netting or a berry basket to keep pests from digging out the seeds.
    • When seedlings emerge, begin to water frequently, and increase to a gallon per week after fruit forms.
    • When seedlings reach 4 inches tall, thin plants so that  they are 1½ feet apart.
    • Use a fertilizer from your garden store which is low nitrogen/high poatassium and phosphorus formula and apply at planting, 1 week after bloom, and every 3 weeks with liquid food, applying directly to the soil around the plants.
    • Do not overfertilize or the fruits will get stunted.
    • Water consistently; put your finger in the soil and when it is dry past the first joint of your finger, it is time to water. Inconsistent watering leads to bitter-tasting fruit. Water slowly in the morning or early afternoon, avoding the leaves.
    • Mulch to hold in soil moisture.
