How to Germinate Cucumber Armenian Dark Green

How to Germinate Cucumber Armenian Dark Green (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus)

  • Sow Cucumber Armenian Dark Green seeds directly outdoors in late spring when the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
  • Plant seeds 1 inch deep in well-draining soil in hills or rows, spacing seeds about 12 inches apart.
  • Ensure the planting location receives full sun for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Thin seedlings to one plant per 12-inch spacing once they have established a few sets of true leaves.
  • If starting indoors, sow seeds 2-4 weeks before the last frost date and transplant them outdoors once the soil is warm.

Additional Tips

  • Armenian cucumbers prefer full sun and well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
  • Water deeply and regularly, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist to encourage healthy growth and fruit development.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.
  • Train vines to grow on a trellis to save space and promote straighter fruits.
  • Harvest cucumbers when they are 12-18 inches long for the best flavor and texture.
