WEST COAST SEEDS CUCUMBERS CRYSTAL APPLE

  • These are an Heirloom from the 1930's and resemble Granny Smith apples. They are at their peak at 3 inch in diameter and have a mild flavour.
  • They perform well in containers or raised beds. These untreated seeds are for organic growing and are non-GMO. They mature in 75 days.

    Starting Cucumber Seeds

  • Cucumbers need very warm soil to germinate. Optimal soil temperature for germination (and transplanting): 15-30°C (60-85°F). We recommend using a heat mat for seed starting cucumbers.
  • Start transplants indoors in individual peat or coir pots 3-4 weeks before transplanting out into warm soil.
  • Transplant when the plants develop their third true leaf. If the plants are too big, they may experience transplant shock.
  • Almost all cucumbers benefit from being trained onto a trellis of some kind. Some vines can reach 7 or 8 feet in length, so growing them upward onto a trellis makes good use of garden space. Fruits that grow hanging into space tend to be straighter than those that form on the ground.

    Companion Planting For Cucumbers

  • Plant cucumbers beside asparagus, beans, Brassicas, celery, corn, dill, kohlrabi, lettuce, onion, peas, radish, and tomatoes. Both corn and sunflowers can act as a trellis for cucumbers to good effect. Dill will help cucumbers by attracting predatory insects, and nasturtiums is said to improve the flavour and growth of cucumbers.
  • Avoid planting near potatoes and sage.
