HOW TO GROW CUCUMBER
Start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost, plant out 1–2 weeks after last frost. Direct seed when soil and day temps are above 70–85˚F at least one week after last frost. Sow in rows or hills thinning to 3-4 plants per hill. Cucumbers are heavy feeders and thrive with ample amounts of well-decayed organic matter. For greenhouse cucumbers, prune to one central leader on a trellis for. Cucumbers prefer an air temperature of at least 70°F during the day, 60°F at night. For field cucumbers, plastic mulch and row covers are commonly used to increase soil and air temperature and ward off insects. Make sure to remove row covers when plants flower to ensure pollination.

Beautiful lemon-colored, oval to round, flavorful salad cucumber. Good raw or pickled. Lemon cucumbers are a real treat, and the best refreshing snack in the peak of summer’s heat. We love to eat them whole like an apple! First listed in America by Samuel Wilson of Mechanicsville, Pennsylvania in the 1890s. Eat when they are fairly small in size: 1-1/2” to 2-1/2”, and when the skin is still tender and does not need to be peeled.
