DESCRIPTION

Greetings from the garden! I'm your English Cucumber plant, known for my elegantly long and slender fruits with a refreshingly mild taste. Admire my smooth, vibrant green skin that's thin and tender – no peeling necessary. I pride myself on a bountiful harvest without the bitterness commonly found in cucumbers. With minimal upkeep, I'm a prolific producer, especially when bathed in sunlight and planted in moist, well-drained soil. Keep your salads and sandwiches extraordinary with my presence!

Care Guide

Thrive best under the full sun, so ensure they receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They prefer rich, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8 and require consistent moisture—water deeply at least once a week, increasing frequency during periods of drought or extreme heat. Employ a balanced fertilizer every four to six weeks to encourage growth. Support vining varieties with trellises or stakes to keep fruit off the ground, which can help prevent disease and make harvesting easier. Be vigilant about pests like cucumber beetles and aphids, and consider using floating row covers for protection. Harvest cucumbers regularly to encourage continued production.

Planting Instructions

Planting 4" potted herbs and vegetables is a straightforward way to enhance your garden. Select varieties like basil, parsley, tomatoes, and lettuce that thrive in your climate. Ensure they're planted in a sunny spot, whether in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground. Carefully remove the plants from their pots, place them in slightly larger holes, and fill in with soil, pressing down lightly. Water thoroughly and maintain consistent soil moisture, preferably watering in the early morning. Keep an eye out for pests and diseases, use organic control methods, and remove weeds promptly. Harvest herbs by trimming leaves as needed and pick vegetables at peak ripeness. This approach is ideal for a productive and flavorful garden.
