Cucumbers


© Seminis

Cucumbers are grouped into 2 categories: Pickling and Slicing. Depending on what you plan to do with your harvest, you will want to choose the right one. However, whichever type you choose, they will both need to be cared for in the same manner. Plant your seeds about 1 to 1 ½ inches deep in late spring or early summer, when all chances of frost have passed. You will want to plant them about 36 to 48 inches apart, as cucumbers take up a lot of room in your garden. However, if space is an issue, you can put up some type of support and have the plant grow upright instead of along the ground. Cucumbers are susceptible to disease and insect damage, so you will need to monitor your plants regularly for any problems. Harvest cucumbers when fruit is still immature to maximize the number of cucumbers produced. Harvesting regularly can help to keep your plants producing for a longer period of time.
