-
- Place two rows of parallel stakes about 18 inches apart.
- In each row, angle the stakes so they intersect at the top, forming a series of ‘X’ shapes when viewed from the end of the row.
- Secure the stakes at the top where they intersect.
- Repeat this process, ensuring each ‘X’ is about 18 inches away from the next.
- Connect the stakes with twine or netting to provide support for the growing plants.
Step 3: Planting and Training the Cucumbers
Sowing Seeds:
- Plant cucumber seeds directly into the prepared soil, placing them at the base of each stake.
- Water the seeds well and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
Training the Vines:
- As the cucumber plants grow, gently guide the vines up the stakes.
- Use soft plant ties or clips to attach the vines to the twine or netting.
- Regularly prune lateral branches to encourage vertical growth and improve air circulation.
