in bucket, in the ground
Sow in pots at a temperature of between 18 and 20°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground is possible under the same conditions when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
Cucumbers like warm, rich soil. Mulching after planting retains water and protects from the cold. In dry regions, let the stems run along the ground; in wetter regions, trellis them. Regular watering will avoid accentuating the bitterness of the fruit.
