Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly into warm soil outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Plant seeds 1 inch deep in hills or rows spaced 3 feet apart.

Ensure soil temperature is at least 70°F (21°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which typically takes 7-10 days.

Thin seedlings to the strongest plants, leaving 12-18 inches between plants in rows or 3-4 plants per hill.

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they have 2-3 true leaves.

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide support for vines using trellises or stakes to keep fruits off the ground and promote straighter cucumbers.

Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring soil remains consistently moist.

Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.
