Half Long White Cucumber

Here are some short tips for seeding Half Long White Cucumber seeds:

1. Planting Time: Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed up (70°F or 21°C+).

2. Soil: Choose well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Add compost to improve soil structure and nutrients.

3. Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them 3-4 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they have a few leaves.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. Water deeply at the base of plants.

5. Sunlight: Plant in full sun, as cucumbers need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight for healthy growth and fruiting.

6. Temperature: Cucumbers thrive in warm temperatures (70-85°F or 21-29°C). Avoid planting too early in cold soil.

7. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost during planting, and supplement with a high-potassium fertilizer once plants start to flower.

8. Pest Control: Watch for pests like cucumber beetles or aphids. Use organic methods like neem oil or row covers if necessary.

9. Training: If growing vertically, use a trellis to help cucumbers grow upward, improving airflow and reducing disease risk.

10. Harvesting: Harvest cucumbers when they are 6-8 inches long, before they become too large or overripe, usually 50-60 days after sowing.

Happy growing!
