Planting and Growing Instructions:
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep.
• Plant Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart with rows 36-48 inches apart to allow ample room for sprawling vines.
• Days to Germination: Seeds germinate in 5-10 days under optimal conditions (soil temperatures of 70-95°F).
• Direct Sow or Start Indoors: Straight Eight cucumber seeds are best sown directly outdoors after the last frost when soil has warmed. For an earlier harvest, start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting, ensuring seedlings are carefully hardened off before moving outdoors.
• Sun or Shade: Straight Eight cucumbers thrive in full sun and require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.
These heirloom seeds are cherished for their open-pollinated, non-GMO, and non-hybrid qualities, ensuring vigorous plants and reliable harvests year after year. Their disease resistance and high productivity make them perfect for home gardeners and market growers alike.
Growing Tips for Best Results:
• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and control weeds.
• Train vines on a trellis for straighter fruit, better air circulation, and easier harvesting.
• Fertilize lightly with a balanced fertilizer or compost throughout the growing season for lush growth and abundant fruit production.
Whether you’re planting in garden beds, raised planters, or containers, Straight Eight cucumbers promise a reliable and rewarding harvest. Add this classic variety to your garden for crisp, delicious cucumbers all season long!
