How to grow a cucmber:

plant cucumbers when average daily temperatures reach the mid-70s° F.
Space cucumbers 36 to 60 inches apart (12 inches apart for trellised plants) in an area with abundant sun and fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8.
Improve native soil by mixing in several inches of aged compost or other rich organic matter.
Cucumbers will grow quickly with little care. Be sure they receive an inch of water every week.
Make the most of your food growing efforts by regularly feeding plants with a water-soluble plant food.
When soil is warm, add a layer of straw mulch to keep fruit clean and help keep slugs and beetles away.
Harvest cucumbers when they are big enough to eat.
