Growing Information

Cucumbers may be direct-seeded or transplanted. If you have heavy weed pressure, you may want to consider transplanting. Cucumber transplants grow well in our 162 Cell Seed Starting Trays. They can also be direct-seeded and will usually germinate in a few days if properly watered.

Cucumbers are a vining plant and grow best when given a trellised structure to climb. Use a strong trellis that is well-supported with deeply driven stakes. Keeping plants off the ground will reduce the potential of plant diseases like mildews and other diseases that can result from excess plant moisture. Trellising will keep the fruits cleaner and save time with harvesting and processing. It will also help to prevent fruit discoloration or yellowing from sitting on the soil surface. Our Hortonova Trellis Netting works great for trellising cucumbers and is easy to install.
