Sow after the soil has warmed and frost danger has passed, or transplant carefully to limit root disturbance. A trellis can save space and improve access to the fruit. Keep the root zone evenly moist without saturating it, and check vines frequently once fruit begins to form. Harvest at the size and texture preferred for pickling or fresh use. Review the current packet for seed count, exact spacing, maturity, and lot-specific instructions.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Plant cucumbers in hills or mounds with plenty of added organic matter. Sow 6-7 seeds in a hill. Once the seedlings sprout, thin to the 3 best vines.
Planting & Growing: In cool regions, start seeds indoors 10-14 days before the last frost, or sow seeds directly when the soil is at least 70°F. Plant seeds 18" apart if trellised or 36" apart if left to sprawl.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when the fruit is small to medium-sized for best flavor. Keep harvesting fruit, even if misshapen, to keep vines productive.
