Sowing cucumbers at the right time
Before sowing or planting a horticultural plant, it is important to first know its planting time. You can sow cucumbers between March and May. In addition, the cucumber appreciates a sunny location and a temperate climate.
Sow the cucumbers from March under a heated shelter, with 2 or 3 seeds per pot and a temperature of 20 °C . After the seeds have sprouted, you can transplant the vigorous seedlings outside only from mid-May, at the end of the frost. Maintain a distance of 1 m between plants.
Please note that cucumbers do not like cold or frost. If you want to sow them directly into the ground, do so only after frost, usually around mid-May. Sow up to 3 seeds per bag, that is, per hole, and also maintain a distance of one meter between plants.
