Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for your cucumber bush. Prepare the soil by mixing in compost to improve nutrient content and drainage. Space the plants about 2 feet apart to allow room for growth, and if you’re planting multiple rows, ensure they are at least 3 feet apart for easy access. Compact bush type cucumbers can be planted in containers with standard potting mix. For best growth and easy harvest, use a trellis to support vines.
2. Watering: Cucumbers thrive on consistent moisture, so it's essential to water them regularly, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot. A deep watering once or twice a week is typically sufficient, adjusting based on rainfall and temperature.
3. Pruning: While this variety has a bush habit and doesn’t require extensive pruning, you can remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health. If the vines get too lush, you might selectively trim back some foliage to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration.
4. Fertilizing: Because of their vigorous growth habit, cucumbers usually do not need fertilizer. A liquid fertilizer for vegetables can be used as needed.
5. Harvesting: Pick cucumbers once they are at least 5-6” long and still green. Smaller, immature cucumbers tend to be more flavorful than larger, more mature cucumbers. Rotate cucumbers parallel to the vine and snap off.
