Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Plant in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light each day.
• Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or other organic matter.
• Timing: Sow directly outdoors after the last frost, when the soil has warmed. Cucumber roots dislike being disturbed.
• Spacing: Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart, or provide room for vines to spread.
• Support: A trellis or sturdy support keeps fruit clean, improves airflow, and makes harvesting easier.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, watering at the base to help keep foliage dry. Containers may need more frequent moisture checks.
• Fertilizing: Work compost into the soil before planting, then use a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to label directions as plants begin active growth. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can produce foliage at the expense of fruit.
• Pollination: Diva can set fruit without pollination. If pollination occurs, fruit may contain seeds.
• Harvesting: Begin picking in about 60 days, harvesting regularly while cucumbers are young and crisp to encourage continued production.
