Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start cucumber seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing cucumber seeds, plant them about 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space them 36 inches apart to allow for proper vine growth and airflow.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest cucumbers wait until they reach a desirable size, typically around 6 to 8 inches in length. Use scissors or garden shears to cut the cucumber from the stem, leaving a small portion attached. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous production, as overripe cucumbers can affect future yields. Check the plant regularly, and harvest cucumbers before they become too large or develop a yellowish color.
