Planting and Care:
Cucumbers thrive in warm, loamy, well-drained soil. Wait until soil temperatures reach at least 18 °C before planting. Create mounds 15–20 cm high and space them 120 cm apart. Sow seeds 2 cm deep, planting 6–8 seeds per mound. After germination (7–10 days), thin to 3 or 4 plants per mound. Protect plants from frost and maintain consistent moisture to prevent bitterness. Harvest cucumbers with a sharp knife to avoid damaging the vines.
