🌱How to Sow Creeping Cucumber Seeds
Cucumber seeds do not require any treatment (eg soaking. stratification) before sowing.
Cucumber seeds grow best when they are sown directly into the garden.
- Sow seeds directly in the garden 10mm deep and 40cm apart. with rows 120cm apart.
- Keep soil moist but never wet or dry.
- Seeds should germinate in around 4-10 days at a soil temperature of 18-35°C.
- Young seedlings will need protection from pests. pets and weather until they are established.
Cucumber is a tender crop that's sensitive to frost. Do not transplant seedlings or sow seeds outside until all danger of frost has passed.

🪴How to Grow Creeping Cucumber
Cucumber plants may need watering during the growing season. Water when the soil is dry about 5cm below the surface (test this by scratching away a little soil with your finger). Water deeply in the early morning or late afternoon. Avoid watering the leaves of plants to avoid fungal diseases.
If soil was well prepared no extra fertiliser should be necessary. In poor soil or to give your plants an extra boost. application of a balanced fertiliser or one formulated for fruit and vegetables can be beneficial:
- Apply slow release fertiliser at the recommended rate when transplanting or when seedlings are 5-10cm tall.
- Apply liquid fertiliser at the recommended rate and frequency while plants are fruiting or flowering.
Vines can sprawl along the ground or be grown up a strong trellis. If growing on the ground. allow at least 2 square metres per plant. If growing on a trellis. plants will attach themselves using their tendrils but extra support can be provided by tying plants gently using twine or plant ties. Make sure you have the support in place when you sow seed or transplant seedlings to avoid disturbing the plant's roots later.
🎋How to Harvest Creeping Cucumber
Cucumber should be ready to harvest in approximately 60-70 days.
Creeping cucumber is ready to harvest when the skin is glossy and the fruit is large enough to eat. Harvest fruit when tender and young as older fruit can become unpalatable. Harvest fruit by cutting it from the vine or bush. leaving a small amount of stem attached. Store cucumbers in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge. For longer term storage cucumber can be pickled.
