Cucumbers

Cucumis sativus

Fruits and Vegetables

Sow indoors 4 weeks before last frost, ideally in biodegradable pots. Set out 2 weeks after last frost at the four-leaf stage. Alternatively, sow outside around last frost. Set or sow into small gently-sloping mounds about 3' apart, 4 plants each, later thin to 2, by pinching out the excess. Soil should be fertile, well-draining, and be kept moist. Temperature 60-95F/15-35C ideal, providing higher temperatures if possible, for both growth and germination

Does not do well with transplanting: transplant only those that were started indoors, once only. Protect with frost
