Welcome to Trinity Greenhouse Farm

Cucumbers are a tropical vegetable, and they crave a lot of direct sunlight. choose a spot where they won't be too shaded from the afternoon sun.

Cucumbers should be grown in a weed-free area. Weeds will drain nutrients and water from the soil, starving your cucumbers.

Bring the soil's pH level as close to 7.0 as possible. Cucumbers thrive in soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. You can buy a pH testing kit at any garden supply center or hardware store.

Cucumber seeds need heat to germinate – at least 20°C – so place pots in a greenhouse, heated propagator or on a sunny windowsill for the best results. Sow in February or March if your greenhouse is heated, or in April if you have an unheated greenhouse.

Cucumbers love the heat, full sun and well-draining soil. If growing cucumbers up a trellis, sow seeds approximately one foot apart. For bush-type cucumbers, sow several seeds in small hills, creating a tiny mound of soil. Space hills about three feet apart. Once seeds germinate, thin out seedlings to leave the two strongest plants.

Water regularly: Consistent moisture will keep your plants healthy and turn out cucumbers that are less bitter. Aim to water your plants every day.

Mulch around the base: Add a layer of mulch or straw at the base of cucumber plants to keep the soil warm and moist.
