Spacemaster Cucumbers produce heavy yields of large, uniform fruits that grow to 18-23 cm (7-9 inches). Growing on dwarf bush vines, these cucumbers are never bitter and easy to enjoy. Compact and bushy, this variety is ideal for small growing areas such as containers and hanging baskets.

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.
