Growing Parade Cucumber in the Vegetable Garden

Cucumbers perform best when directly sown 1-2 weeks after your last frost date, but may be started 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1 inch deep, 12-18 inches apart, with rows spaced 48 inches. Grow in a location with rich, well-draining soil and full sun. While cucumbers can be left to sprawl across the soil, supporting them vertically with a trellis can promote healthy growth and airflow.

Cucumbers are mostly water and perform best with consistent watering applications. This monoecious type has both male and female flowers that require insect or hand pollination to bear fruit.

Harvesting Parade Cucumber

These pickling cucumbers produce heavy yields of blocky 4-5 inch bumpy fruits. This variety is known to produce relatively all at once compared to others. Remove cucumbers using harvesting or pruning shears and avoid pulling them from the plant to prevent damage to your harvest.
