Growing tips
Cucumbers need a loose, nutrient-rich, humus and always moist soil with a temperature above 12°C/54°F. Cover soil between plants with mulch film to keep the temperature high and avoid drying. Cucumbers like locations sheltered from the wind and do not tolerate frost. As soon as the 4th leaf is formed, the plants can go into the open ground.
