Growing Eversweet Hybrid Cucumber in the Vegetable Garden
Cucumbers perform best when directly sown 1-2 weeks after your last frost date, but may be started 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1 inch deep, 12-18 inches apart, with rows spaced 48 inches. Grow in a location with rich, well-draining soil and full sun. While cucumbers can be left to sprawl across the soil, supporting them vertically with a trellis can promote healthy growth and airflow.
Cucumbers are mostly water and perform best with consistent watering applications. This is a monoecious type that produces both male and female flowers. They require insect or hand pollination to set fruit.
Harvesting Eversweet Hybrid Cucumber
Eversweet F1 Hybrids produce 4-8 inch medium green fruits with white spines. Cucumbers produce more prolifically when they are harvested frequently while young. Allowing fruits to become overly mature may reduce overall yields. Remove cucumbers using harvesting or pruning shears and avoid pulling them from the plant to prevent damage to your harvest.

Tips From Our Gardeners
“To help prevent misshapen cucumbers, keep the soil hydrated and fertile. Soil testing can help prevent over-feeding, as high nitrogen can lead to low fruit production as well.”
