What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Cucumbers grow best in a rich, warm, sandy loam soil. Before planting, work large amounts of garden compost or composted manure into the native soil, about 30 cm deep. Wait until the soil has reached a temperature of at least 18°C before planting, as cooler soil can reduce germination and increase the chance of the seed rotting.
Planting: Mound the soil into hills about 15-20 cm high and 30-60 cm across. Space the hills about 120 cm apart. Sow 6 to 8 seeds 2 cm deep in each hill. After they sprout, thin to 3 or 4 plants per hill. If you have limited space, most cucumbers can be grown on trellises.
Care: Protect the plants from any late spring or early summer frosts. Keep the plants evenly watered throughout the growing season, as even soil moisture is very important to prevent bitterness. To prevent damage to the vine, harvest the cucumbers by cutting them from the vine with a sharp knife instead of pulling or twisting them. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
