WEST COAST SEEDS CUCUMBERS TASTY EMPEROR
Slender, early, and thin skinned Japanese style long cucumbers on vigorous plants.

  • Plant Tasty Emperor cucumber seeds for high-yielding plants that are productive for a long period with fruits growing to 25-30cm (10-12″) long.
  • They have superb flavour and a crisp, crunchy flesh.
  • Be sure to trellis the vines for straighter fruits.
  • Grow cucumbers in rich, fertile soil that is kept moderately moist throughout the season.
  • We recommend using an handful of Complete Organic Fertilizer, worked into the soil at transplant time.
  • Keep plants well picked for better production. Try to water the soil only, keeping the leaves as dry as possible.
  • Matures in 65 days. (Hybrid seeds)

    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.
