Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow seeds outdoors after danger of frost when soil temperatures are warm, as tender annual cucumbers require stable heat for germination.
  • Space seeds or transplants to allow vines to reach their typical mature spread of about 36–48 inches.
  • Choose a site with full sun or light afternoon shade to support strong growth and optimal fruit set.
  • Plant in loose, well-drained soil enriched with compost to encourage deep rooting and vigorous vines reaching 12–18 inches tall.
  • If starting indoors, transplant gently to avoid disturbing the roots, and provide pollinators for greenhouse production.
  • Maintain consistent moisture during early establishment to promote uniform germination and early growth.

Maintenance

  • Provide sturdy support such as a trellis to increase airflow and keep fruit clean, especially when growing in containers.
  • Water consistently at the base of the plant to maintain moisture and reduce stress during hot periods.
  • Plants show resistance to downy mildew, but good spacing improves overall vigor and reduces disease pressure.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer during early growth to support strong vines and sustained fruit production.

Harvest & Storage

  • Tendergreen Burpless cucumbers reach maturity in about 65 days, producing medium-green fruits that are ideal when picked at eight inches or shorter.
  • Harvest frequently to encourage continued fruiting and maintain the plant’s tender, non-bitter flavor.
  • Handle fruits carefully after picking to avoid bruising and extend freshness.
  • Store cucumbers unwashed in the refrigerator, where they keep best at cool, slightly humid conditions.
  • For longer storage life, avoid placing them near ethylene-producing fruits to prevent premature softening.
