Seeding - Soil temperature should be at least 20°C. Cucumber seed will not germinate below 10°C. Cucumber plants can also be transplanted. Peat pods are recommended. Sow in clumps, 5-6 per clump, 1 cm deep with clumps 1 m apart. Thin to one or two of the best plants per clump. Sow in rows, seed 5 cm apart, 1 cm deep. Thin to 20 cm apart. Pick daily once bearing begins to keep vines productive.
