Growing Greenhouse Long Burpless Hybrid 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. As a parthenocarpic type, this cucumber is self-pollinating. This is especially beneficial for greenhouse production. Just be careful when growing outdoors to prevent cross-pollination, as this may lead to greater seed development.
Harvesting Greenhouse Long Burpless Hybrid Cucumber
Produces long 8-12 inch slicing cucumbers with thin skin. Cucumbers produce more prolifically when they are harvested frequently while young. Allowing fruits to become overly mature may reduce overall yields. Remove cucumbers using harvesting or pruning shears and avoid pulling them from the plant to prevent damage to your harvest.
About Greenhouse Long Burpless Hybrid Cucumber Garden Seeds

Tips From Our Gardeners
"To help prevent misshapen cucumbers, keep the soil hydrated and fertile. Soil testing can help prevent over-feeding, as high nitrogen can lead to low fruit production as well."

=======Basic Info
| Latin Name: | Cucumis sativus |
| Cucumber Type: | Slicing - Slicing cucumbers typically are longer and have a thicker, smoother skin that is usually peeled off before eating. Ideal for eating fresh and in salads. / Burpless - Burpless cucumbers have reduced levels of cucurbitacin. Burpless cucumbers are reportedly less bitter tasting, and are less likely to cause digestive issues (indigestion, bloating, burping, etc) in some people. They are also less attractive to cucumber beetles. |
| Greenhouse Long Burpless Hybrid Cucumber Color: | Green with thin skin. |
| Greenhouse Long Burpless Hybrid Cucumber Flavor: | Mild, slightly sweet, and not bitter. |
Growing Info
| Hardiness Zone: | Annual 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
| Days to Maturity: | 46 |
| Days to Germination: | 6-10 |
| Seeding Depth: | 1 inch |
| Plant Spacing: | 18-24 inches |
| Row Spacing: | 48 inches |
| Plant Height: | 18-30 inches |
| Growth Habit: | Vining. Cucumbers can grow along the soil surface, but are often healthier with a vertical support to promote airflow. |
| Soil Preference: | Cucumbers prefer rich, well-draining soils with a pH of 6-6.8. Consistent watering is required for abundant yields. |
| Temperature Preference: | Warmer 64-86 F. Cucumbers do not tolerate frost and often become damaged at temperatures below 50F. |
| Light Preference: | Full Sun |
Other
| Direct Sow: | Yes, this is the preferred method for growing cucumber seeds. |
| Start Indoors: | Yes, while direct sowing is the preferred method, starting indoors is common. Start 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Cucumbers need warm air and soil temperatures. |
| Cucumber Pollination: | Parthenocarpic - These cucumbers are self-pollinating, seedless, and do not require insect pollinating activity. This makes them ideal for greenhouse production. If they are cross-pollinated with other types, they may yield seeded fruit. |
| Growth Speed: | Early - Ready around 40-54 days from sowing. |
| Plant Width: | 36-48 inches |
| Plant Spread: | 36-48 inches |
| Deer Resistant: | Yes. The hairy leaves and prickly spines of cucumbers generally lead deer to pursue other plants first. However, deer will eat them if there aren’t more appetizing options nearby. |
| Germination Temperature: | 75-85 F |
| Pests and Diseases: | Cucumbers are generally known to be susceptible to snails, aphids, cutworms, spider mites, squash vine borers, and cucumber beetles. Common diseases include powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. Reduce the effects of pests and disease by practicing crop rotation. |
