Growing Early Spring Bush Burpless F1 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. When Early Spring Bush Burpless is allowed to grow on the soil surface, it may take a curled or curved shape compared to when trellised.
Cucumbers are mostly water and perform best with consistent watering applications. As a monoecious variety, Early Spring Bush Burpless Hybrid produces male and female flowers, requiring insect or hand pollination.
Harvesting Early Spring Bush Burpless Hybrid Cucumber
Early Spring Bush Burpless Hybrid cucumbers produce 10-12 inch dark green fruits with a skin that does not need peeling. 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.

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."

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. |
