Growing Non-GMO Pickler's Pride Mix Vegetable Seeds

To start Pickler's Pride Mix Cucumbers, you have two options: sowing seeds directly outdoors or starting them indoors and transplanting them later. If you choose to start seeds indoors, begin about 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. Use seed-starting trays or small pots filled with a high-quality seed-starting mix. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and water them gently. Place the trays in a warm location with temperatures around 70-80 F, and ensure they receive plenty of light, using grow lights is recommended.

Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature has reached at least 70 F. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Plant them 24 inches apart in rows 48 inches apart, ensuring ample room for the vines to spread. If sowing directly outdoors, wait until the soil is warm and the risk of frost is gone.

During the germination period, which takes about 7–14 days, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Using mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to the strongest plants, maintaining the 24-inch spacing. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells.

They can be used as companion plants, particularly with corn, beans, and peas, which can help improve nutrient uptake and deter pests. However, avoid planting them near aromatic herbs or potatoes, as these can inhibit cucumber growth.

Harvesting Pickler's Pride Mix

You'll know they're ready to harvest when they are firm with a bright green appearance. Avoid letting them grow too large, as they may become bitter. To harvest, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the cucumber from the vine, leaving a small stem attached.

About Pickler's Pride Mix Garden Seeds

Pickler's Pride Mix Cucumbers were developed with home gardeners in mind, focusing on traits like high yields and disease resistance.

This mix grows exceptionally well in regions with a consistent warm climate, such as the southern and central United States.

One tip for growing healthy cucumbers is to rotate your crops each year to avoid soil-borne diseases and interrupt pest life cycles. Also, adding organic matter, such as compost, to the soil before planting will improve fertility and drainage.

Cucumbers are low in calories and high in water content, making them a hydrating and refreshing snack. They are a good source of vitamins K and C, potassium, and antioxidants.
