Collection: Heirloom cucumbers
Cucumbers are a main season growing delight
That gives there bounty by the bucket full
These grow quickly and are easy to harvest and will be a good income source
Here's a tip. To all market growers plant pickling cucumbers every two weeks from may to July 4th
The pickling cucumbers come on all at once and you will sell by create you have them lined up for your little cucs don't forget to plant dill to go with them.
When it comes to planting cucumbers, these seeds can be quite fussy as they require warm temperatures and do not like being transplanted, so we recommend direct seeding.
When planting, place the seeds at least an inch down into the soil.
Spacing; if planting in rows, you should plant these seeds at least 8-12 inches apart and you should space rows at least 4'ft apart.
Expect 45 days from seed to first harvest.
**Please Note: When it comes to harvesting your cucumbers, it's best to harvest when the fruit is bright green in colour, if they have turned yellow, then they have gone to seed**
Once your cucumbers have reached the point of fruit set (fruit set occurs after pollination), your seeds are going to need plenty of water.
It is important to note that Heirloom open pollinated varieties don't do too well when grown indoors.
However, if you must grow indoors, hand pollinating cucumbers is also possible, you can do this by taking a cotton swab in the morning, rubbing it against a male blossom and then rubbing it against a female blossom ( this must be done within the first day of a blossom's first appearance).
Helpful Hint: Smaller Varieties; if space is an issue, give them something to grow onto (fencing, string, ect.) and they will vine upwards which makes for easier harvesting.
