Pickling Cucumber Planting Information:

Cucumbers don't do well if roots are disturbed, so it is best to plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds in the soil, 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost, when the soil and air temperature is at least 65°F. Thin so there are 4 plants per hill. Cucumbers can also be grown in rows instead of hills, spacing 24" apart in rows 24 - 36" apart. Trellised plants can be grown as close as 10" apart. Cucumbers only take 55 to 65 days to maturity, so you can have multiple harvests by growing 2 to 3 weeks apart. Plants grow 1 ft tall, and vines spread up to 6 ft.

Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

The soil should be continuously moist. Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get ½" of water per week.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Snip the stems with garden scissors when cucumbers are 2" long for pickling varieties. Harvesting frequently encourages more production. Pick daily to prevent fruit from becoming too large. Overripe cucumbers will have a bitter taste.

ALS – Angular Leaf Spot

Scientific Name: Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans

Type: Bacterium

Angular Leaf Spot is a world-wide bacterial disease that affects the growth of cantaloupes, melons, cucumbers, and squash. It can also affect strawberries. It is caused by the Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans bacteria. Angular leaf spot thrives in warm, humid conditions. Symptoms may first develop on young plants where small angular spots develop that turn brown or straw-colored. Under humid conditions, milky white liquid may appear on the spots. The disease can also affect the stem and cause the fruit to rot. The disease expands during rainy weather and temperatures of 75 to 82 degrees F. The infected plants should be removed to avoid further infestation. Avoid working among plants when foliage is wet and use overhead irrigation when possible. Plan on using a 3 year crop rotation and avoid planting in the same location, year after year, as the disease can survive in the soil for 2 years. Pesticides can help manage the disease. The best option is to use disease-resistant varieties.
