·Days to Germination: 6-10

·Seeding Depth: 1 inch

·Direct Sow: Yes, this is the preferred method for growing cucumber seeds.

·Start Indoors: Yes, while direct sowing is the preferred method, starting indoors is common. Start 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Cucumbers need warm air and soil temperatures.

·Cucumber Type: Pickling - Pickling cucumbers typically are shorter, have a thinner, bumpy, or warty skin. While they can be eaten fresh and in salads, these are preferred for pickling.

·Cucumber Pollination: Monoecious - These cucumbers produce both male and female flowers. While insects carry out pollination activity, you may hand-pollinate to increase the likelihood of fruit set.

·Growth Speed: Early - Ready around 40-54 days from sowing.

·Plant Spacing: 18-24 inches

·Row Spacing: 48 inches

·Plant Height: 12-18 inches

·Plant Width: 24 inches

·Plant Spread: 24 inches

·Growth Habit: Compact vine. Cucumbers can grow along the soil surface, but are often healthier with a vertical support to promote airflow.

·Deer Resistant: Yes. The hairy leaves and prickly spines of cucumbers generally lead deer to pursue other plants first. However, deer will eat them if there aren’t more appetizing options nearby.

·Soil Preference: Cucumbers prefer rich, well-draining soils with a pH of 6-6.8. Consistent watering is required for abundant yields.

·Temperature Preference: Warmer 64-86 F. Cucumbers do not tolerate frost and often become damaged at temperatures below 50F.

Growing Garden Bush Pickle F1 Hybrid Cucumber in the Vegetable Garden

Cucumbers perform best when directly sown 1-2 weeks after your last frost date, but may be started 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1 inch deep, 12-18 inches apart, with rows spaced 48 inches. Grow in a location with rich, well-draining soil and full sun. While cucumbers can be left to sprawl across the soil, supporting them vertically with a trellis can promote healthy growth and airflow.

Cucumbers are mostly water and perform best with consistent watering applications. As a monoecious type, these plants will produce both male and female flowers. Insect or hand pollination is required for fruit development.

Harvesting Garden Bush Pickle Hybrid Cucumber

Garden Bush Pickle hybrid cucumbers produce 4-5 inch cylindrical fruits. Cucumbers produce more prolifically when they are harvested frequently while young. Allowing fruits to become overly mature may reduce overall yields. Remove cucumbers using harvesting or pruning shears and avoid pulling them from the plant to prevent damage to your harvest.
