Choose the Right Variety: Select cucumber types that thrive in your local climate — bush varieties for small spaces or vining types for trellising.
Prepare the Soil: Enrich your soil with organic compost to provide nutrients and ensure good drainage.
Plant Properly: Sow seeds or transplant seedlings after the last frost date. Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
Provide Support: Use a trellis or cages to encourage vertical growth, reduce disease, and improve air circulation.
Water Consistently: Cucumbers need regular watering, especially during flowering and fruiting stages. Avoid wetting leaves to reduce fungal issues.
Mulch: Apply mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest Regularly: Pick cucumbers when they are firm and green before they over-ripen to encourage continuous production.
