Tip 2: Facts about Cucumber
Cucumbers grow from seed to harvest in about 7-9 weeks.
Cucumbers are 90-95% water, which make them an excellent vegetable for our children. That also means they will need lots of water throughout the growing process. Like squash and zucchini, cucumber plants produce both male and female flowers and need pollination to produce its fruit. In a few weeks we will show you the next stage in your cucumber's growing cycle and talk more about pollination.
Cucumbers can grow without a trellis and can just vine on the ground. If however, you can trellis them it will help to protect the cucumbers from potential ground rot. A trellis could be used around 5 weeks into the growing process.
