Planting & Growing Instructions
When to Plant:
Plant your Marketer cucumber seeds in the spring once the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C). In colder regions, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date to get a head start on the growing season.
How to Plant:
- Start Indoors: Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed-starting trays filled with well-drained soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and place the trays in a warm, sunny location.
- Transplant Outdoors: Once seedlings are 3-4 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 12 inches apart in rows or trellising them to save space and improve air circulation.
- Direct Sowing: If planting directly in the garden, sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-drained soil and thin seedlings as they grow to ensure proper spacing.
Sun & Water Requirements:
- Sunlight: Plant cucumbers in full sun to ensure healthy growth and high yields.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry periods. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can lead to fungal diseases.
Fertilization & Care:
- Use an organic fertilizer or compost to nourish the plants throughout the growing season.
- Mulching around the base of the plants helps retain moisture and control weeds.
Harvesting:
- Slicing Cucumbers: Harvest when cucumbers reach 9 inches in length for optimal flavor and texture.
- Pickling Cucumbers: For pickles, harvest cucumbers when they’re smaller, around 4-5 inches long.
- Regular harvesting encourages the plant to continue producing cucumbers throughout the season.
