Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 6-8 hours before planting to improve germination rates. This step is optional but recommended for better results.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
For indoor sowing, use seed-starting mix and plant seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or pots.
Maintain a soil temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist and provide plenty of light for seedlings.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 true leaves and the soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C).
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 36-48 inches apart, or plant them in containers or raised beds.
Provide support for the vines with trellises or cages if space is limited.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest cucumbers when they are firm and 2-4 inches long for the best pickling quality. If left too long, they may become too large and develop a bitter taste.
