http://www.durgan.org/URL/?FRPAG 23 May 2015 Planting Cucumbers
Six Cross Country Cucumber (Hybrid) seed pots were started in the greenhouse about four weeks ago and placed in the outdoor garden along a prepared trellis. There are two or three plants in each pot. This method produces cucumbers about month earlier than direct seeding in my zone. A stepping board was placed in the bed to facilitate picking without crushing the vines. The vines will be trained to climb the mesh of the trellis. This system will produce from 100 to 200 pounds of cucumbers over the growing season.
