A Note About Cucumbers

A Note About Cucumbers

Ready in 50-70 days, these plants are great for beginners and gardening veterans alike. They are versatile when used fresh and make the best preserves. Cucumbers are grown best in USDA growing zones 3-12.

When should I plant cucumbers?

This depends on where you live and how warm spring is for you. Soil temperatures should be around 70°F if cucumbers are being planted straight into the ground. If the starting cucumber seeds indoors, start 3 weeks before the last frost date.

Plants to Avoid Growing By Cucumbers

PRO TIP #1

PRO TIP #1

Transplant your cucumbers at 3-4 weeks old, or when they have 2-4 true leaves. Allowing the cucumber starts to get too large and leggy will result in more transplant loss.

Pro Tip #2

Pro Tip #2

Cucumbers create an abundant ground cover and love to sprawl into free space. Leave at least 48 inches in between cucumbers and vulnerable crops. If not careful, cucumber plants can prevent other crops from thriving by blocking their sun.
