Rows: space plants placing one seed every 2" to 8" in rows 4' to 5' apart.
Hills: plant 5 to 8 seeds per hill. When plants emerge, cut off weaker plants leaving only 2 to 3 per hill. Allow 3' to 6' between hills.
Beds: place hills in beds following spacing for hills above.
Containers: Place seeds as described above for rows or hills. Use bush-type cucumbers which require less room or grow plants on cages or on trellises.
Grown in high temperatures with inadequate water, fruits develop a bitter flavor. Most of the bitterness is in the inch of fruit closest to the stem and near the skin. Some new varieties contain a gene that eliminates all bitterness even under stress.
Youth Connections is an afterschool program associated with the Public Housing Agency. Our goals are to develop meaningful relationships with kids and provide a positive and safe environment in which kids can develop meaningful relationships with each other, empower kids to realize their potential and commit to working with youth and their families in order to create a more socially just community.
