How to Grow Spacemaster Cucumbers From Seed
# 1 | Spacemaster cucumbers do not take well to transplanting, so either start them early in peat pots or plant them directly. Start your spacemaster cucumbers indoors about 2 weeks before frost, by placing 3-4 Spacemaster cucumber seeds 1/2" deep in the pot. Keep the air temperature above 80 F. Seedlings should emerge in 10-18 days.
# 2 | When your cucumber seedlings have two or three leaves on each plant, cut off all but the strongest plant in each location with a scissors. Before planting your cucumbers, "harden off" your seeds. Your seedlings should be planted no sooner than a week after the last spring frost, when the air temperatures in your area consistently above 60 F.
# 3 | Cucumbers love heat, but cannot endure even a light frost; if you area experiences cold temperatures make sure to cover your seedlings. Spacemaster cucumbers produce rather short vines, and perform well as container plants for small spaces.
