Boston Pickling Cucumber Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow seeds directly into the garden after the soil has reached 70°F. Pickling cucumbers grow very quickly, so they can also be planted for a late summer crop in many zones.
2. Preparation: Choose a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Work in 2-3 inches of compost before planting. Ensure the soil remains loose so the roots can spread easily.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. Space plants 12 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart. If you have limited space, these vines are excellent candidates for growing up a trellis or netting.
4. Thinning and Care: Thin seedlings once they have two sets of true leaves. Consistent watering is the secret to non-bitter cucumbers; aim for 1-2 inches of water per week, especially when the fruit is forming. Mulching around the base to keep weeds down and moisture in.
5. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for aphids and cucumber beetles. Harvesting frequently not only prevents the fruit from becoming too large and seedy but also encourages the plant to keep blooming. Rotate your cucumber crop every year to avoid soil-borne wilt.
