25+ SEEDS - HEIRLOOM, BURPLESS
To grow Muncher cucumbers, you will need:
- Muncher cucumber seeds
- Well-drained soil
- Compost or manure
- Full sun
- Water
- Trellis or tomato cage (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare your soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve drainage and fertility.
- Plant your seeds directly in the ground when the soil temperature has reached at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 36-48 inches apart.
- Water your cucumbers regularly, especially during hot weather. They should receive about 1 inch of water per week.
- When the cucumbers are about 6 inches tall, you can start fertilizing them with a balanced fertilizer. Fertilize every two weeks until the plants begin to flower.
- Muncher cucumbers can grow to be quite long and heavy, so it is a good idea to provide them with some support. You can use a trellis or tomato cage to help the plants grow upwards.
- Cucumbers are ready to harvest when they are about 4-6 inches long. To harvest, simply cut the cucumbers from the vine with a sharp knife.
Tips:
- Muncher cucumbers are a warm-season crop, so plant them in the spring or summer after the last frost.
- Muncher cucumbers can be grown in containers, but they will need a large container with plenty of drainage.
- Muncher cucumbers are relatively pest-resistant, but they can be susceptible to aphids and powdery mildew. Keep an eye on your plants for pests and diseases, and treat them immediately if necessary.
Harvesting and Storage:
Muncher cucumbers are ready to harvest when they are about 4-6 inches long. To harvest, simply cut the cucumbers from the vine with a sharp knife. Be careful not to damage the plant.
Muncher cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To store, wash the cucumbers and dry them thoroughly. Then, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a sealed container.
Enjoy!
