Cucumbers

CULTURE: A warm, rich, limey ground is best but any well-drained, fertile soil will do.
PARTHENOCARPIC: Plants can set fruit without pollination.
GYNOECIOUS: Plants have all female flowers resulting in higher yield potential.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow indoors in 2" plug trays, 3 seeds/cell, 4-5 weeks before weather is warm and settled. Keep temp. above 70°F (21°C) day and 60°F (16°C) night. Transplant 12" apart in rows 5-6' apart. Do not disturb roots when transplanting. Cucumber plants cannot survive frost.
DIRECT SEEDING: Wait until soil is warm, at least 70°F (21°C), usually at least a week after last frost. Cucumber seeds will not germinate at a soil temperature below 50°F (10°C) and germinate slowly at 68°F (20°C). Sow 3 seeds/ft., 1/2" deep, rows 5-6' apart. Thin to 8" apart.
POLY MULCH AND ROW COVERS: Protect plants from insects and increase warmth for earlier and heavier yields.
DISEASES: Choose disease-resistant varieties, provide favorable growing conditions, plow in or remove and compost plant refuse, and control insect pests.
INSECT PESTS: Protect against cucumber beetles with floating row covers at planting, or control with pyrethrin or azadarachtin. (See index)
HARVEST: Once bearing begins, pick daily.
STORAGE: Hold cucumbers at 45-50°F (7-10°C) and 90% relative humidity for up to 2 weeks.
GREENHOUSE CROPPING: Plants can be pruned and string-trellised. Use only parthenocarpic varieties.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding; subtract about 10 days if transplanting.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: 30 seeds sows 10', 100 seeds/33', 250 seeds/83',500 seeds/166', 1,000 seeds/333', or 22M/acre at 3 seeds/ft. in rows 6' apart.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 350 cells or pots/oz. at 3 seeds/cell.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 16,000-21,000 (avg. 17,000).
PACKET: 30 seeds unless otherwise noted.

	AAS (All-America Selections) Winners We carry dozens of All-America Selections winners, including seven Johnny's-bred varieties -- Jasper Cherry Tomato; Baby Bear Pumpkin; Bright Lights Swiss Chard; Diva Cucumber; Sunshine Kabocha Squash; Bonbon Buttercup Squash; and Carmen Pepper. Read about Johnny's Plant Breeding Program (article by Rob Johnston Jr., Johnny's founder and chairman). All-America Selections is an independent, nonprofit organization that trials new varieties alongside two or three similar varieties currently on the market, then introduces only the best garden performers as AAS Winners. Submitted vegetable and flower varieties are tested by a geographically divergent network of independent judges to determine whether their garden performance is truly superior, with winners chosen on the basis of scores received from judges at 34 sites in the U.S. and Canada. Johnny's is proud to be an official trial ground site for AAS. (To learn more, visit the All-America Selections website.)
