Wait until soil and air temperatures averages 70Â°F each day before sowing or transplanting cumbers to the garden. While warm temperatures are required for growing, cucumbers require a relatively short seasonâ55 to 60 days from sowing to harvest. In long-season regions, you can plant successive crops. In cool or short-season regions, choose the warmest time of the year for growing cucumbers.
Planting Cucumbers Outdoors. When planting cucumber seeds directly outdoors, wait until the soil warms in the spring. Seeds generally germinate in about 10 days when it's around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. You can safely plant the seeds outdoors about three to four weeks after the last frost in your area. When planting directly in the garden, make hills for the seeds. Spacing for hills should be four to six feet apart with six to eight cucumber seeds per hill. Once the seedlings emerge, cut off the three weakest plants at soil level. You can start cucumber seeds indoors four to six weeks before the last spring frost in your area. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep in seed starter mix. If you use biodegradable pots, you can set the entire pot into the soil outdoors and avoid disturbing plant roots. Two weeks after the last frost, set the pots in the garden, making sure the pot is below the soil line.
