English Cucumber

I started with four 4" starter plants, English Cucumber from Al's Garden Center. I planted my cucumber directly into the back row of the garden with a trellis for climbing support. (right top) My cucumber starter plants in June 2008. (right bottom) My first signs of cucumber on July 23, 2008.

Growing Tips: Cucumber prefers full sun, well drained and moist soil. It also needs some sort of support or trellis due to its climbing growth habbit. Cucumbers prefer temperatures around 70 degrees fahrenheit so be sure to plant after all risks of frost have passed.

Harvesting: Cucumbers can be harvested when full size, clip off the vine from stem.
