Producer: Swati Chaturvedi
Select a Sunny Spot:
Choose a sunny location in your garden with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight.
Well-Draining Soil:
Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots.
Ample Water:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Support for Vines:
Use trellises or supports for cucumber vines to grow vertically.
Spacing:
Plant cucumber seeds or seedlings about 12 inches apart in rows.
Fertilize Wisely:
Use a balanced fertilizer and avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to excessive foliage and fewer fruits.
Mulch:
Apply mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep cucumbers clean.
Harvest Timely:
Pick cucumbers when they're firm and about 6-8 inches long for the best taste and texture.
