CUCUMBER 6 PACK

Hello there, crisp veggie lover and summer gardener! Are you dreaming of harvesting your own cool, refreshing cucumbers, perfect for salads, pickles, or a simple hydrating snack, right from your Prescott backyard? Let me tell you about growing cucumbers – it's an incredibly satisfying experience that brings the taste of summer directly to your kitchen! Imagine plucking a perfectly crisp cucumber from the vine on a warm Arizona day.

Cucumber plants come in two main forms: vining types that spread widely, often 4 to 6 feet or more, and bush types that are more compact, ideal for smaller spaces or containers, usually staying within a 2-3 foot spread. They are absolute sun-worshippers and thrive in full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce abundant fruits. While young cucumber plants can sometimes attract initial nibbles from garden critters, healthy and vigorous vines are generally less prone to heavy damage from larger animals.

To ensure your cucumbers flourish and provide you with a bountiful harvest, plant them in rich, well-draining soil. Then, apply a generous layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base of your plants. This is crucial for retaining consistent soil moisture – which cucumbers really appreciate – keeping the roots cool during our hot Arizona summers, and suppressing weeds that compete for vital water and nutrients. For strong vine growth and continuous fruit production, feed your cucumbers every 3-4 weeks once they start flowering and setting fruit, with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This balanced nutrition will help your cucumbers thrive and bring a refreshing crunch right to your summer table!
