Planting and Care:
Cucumbers thrive in rich, warm, sandy loam. Work the soil to 30 cm deep with compost or manure before planting. Wait until the soil reaches at least 18 °C. Build mounds 15–20 cm high and 30–60 cm in diameter, spacing them 120 cm apart. Plant 6–8 seeds per mound at 2 cm depth. After germination (7–10 days), thin to 3–4 plants per mound. For limited spaces, grow on a trellis. Maintain even soil moisture to avoid bitter fruits and harvest gently with a knife.
