HOW TO GROW CUCUMBER
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost, plant out 1–2 weeks after last frost. Direct seed when soil and day temps are above 70–85˚F at least one week after last frost. Sow in rows or hills thinning to 3-4 plants per hill. Cucumbers are heavy feeders and thrive with ample amounts of well-decayed organic matter. For greenhouse cucumbers, prune to one central leader on a trellis for. Cucumbers prefer an air temperature of at least 70°F during the day, 60°F at night. For field cucumbers, plastic mulch and row covers are commonly used to increase soil and air temperature and ward off insects. Make sure to remove row covers when plants flower to ensure pollination. Soil pH 6.5-7.1. Hardiness zones 10. Annual.
