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.
If you are purchasing from the store, select cucumbers that are firm, deep green and not wrinkled on the ends. Do not wash. If left alone on a shelf at room temperature, cucumbers will start turning soft in one to two days. Place the cucumbers in the refrigerator, in a low humidity drawer if possible. They will remain fresh and crisp for up to 10 days. They are still edible after this, but they will be soft.
