| Plant 1-2" deep in small mounds 24" apart. As plants tend to produce less after 6 weeks of production I encourage 2 plantings, one right after the last frost date and one 3 weeks to a month later to ensure high quality cucumbers all season long. Cucumbers are heavy feeders, provide fertility throughout the season. Water about one inch a week. |
