Sowing Guide

- When to Start Inside: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance, and sow in biodegradable pots.
- Days to Germinate: 5–10 days.
- Seed Planting Depth: ½”
- Seed Spacing: A group of 2 seeds every 12″
- Row Spacing: 36″
- Thinning: When 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant every 12″
- Harvesting: Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow the production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile. To increase the quality and storage time, once picked, immediately immerse in cold water to disperse “field heat”.
