Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost when soil temps reach 60°F or higher. In Texas and warm climates, plant in early spring and again in late summer for a fall crop.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ½ to 1 inch deep.
• Spacing: Plant 12–18 inches apart in rows 3–4 feet apart, or 2–3 plants per large container.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering 1–2 times per week is preferred over shallow daily watering.
• Support: While Spacemaster is compact, a small trellis or cage helps keep fruit clean and improves air circulation.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer at planting and again when vines begin to run. Switch to a low-nitrogen fertilizer once flowering begins.
• Days to Maturity: Approximately 60 days from direct sow.
• Harvest: Pick cucumbers at 8–9 inches for best flavor and texture. Frequent harvesting encourages continued production.
