How to Grow Organic Sumter Cucumbers

• Well-drained soil
• Compost or manure
• Full sun
• Water
• Trellis or tomato cage (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare your soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve drainage and fertility.
2. Plant your seeds directly in the ground when the soil temperature has reached at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 12 inches apart.
3. Water your cucumbers regularly, especially during hot weather. They should receive about 1 inch of water per week.
4. When the cucumbers are about 6 inches tall, you can start fertilizing them with an organic fertilizer. Fertilize every two weeks until the plants begin to flower.
5. Sumter 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.
6. Cucumbers are ready to harvest when they are about 12-18 inches long. To harvest, simply cut the cucumbers from the vine with a sharp knife.

Harvesting and Storage:

Sumter cucumbers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. To store, wash the cucumbers and dry them thoroughly. Then, wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a sealed container.
