Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Optional: Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to speed up germination.

Sowing:

• Direct Sowing: Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost when the soil temperature is at least 70°F (21°C).
• Indoor Starting: Start seeds 3-4 weeks before the last frost in biodegradable pots to reduce transplant shock.
• Depth: Plant seeds ½ inch (1.3 cm) deep.
• Spacing:
  • Plants: Space 12 inches (30 cm) apart in rows or hills.
  • Rows: Keep rows 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) apart.

Germination:

• Time: Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Temperature: Maintain soil temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C).

Transplanting:

• Timing: Move seedlings outdoors after the last frost when soil temperatures are warm.
• Minimizing Root Disturbance: If grown in biodegradable pots, plant directly into the soil.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during flowering and fruit development.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep fruits clean.
• Support:
  • Provide a trellis, cage, or stakes for vines to improve air circulation and fruit quality.
  • Trellising also helps prevent pest issues and saves garden space.

Harvesting:

• Size: Pick when cucumbers are 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) in diameter for the best flavor and texture.
• Regular Picking: Frequent harvesting encourages continuous fruit production.
