Growing Crystal Apple 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 is a monoecious type that will develop male and female flowers on the same plant. Insect or hand pollination is necessary for fruit development.

Harvesting Crystal Apple Cucumbers

Crystal Apple Cucumbers have a light yellow-green skin and a rounded apple-like shape. They should measure about 3 inches in size and feel firm but not hard when ready to harvest. 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.
