Cucumber 'Saturn' F1

5 seeds

Sow seeds directly in well-draining, fertile soil after the last frost date, or start indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. This variety thrives in full sun and warm temperatures (70°F - 85°F/21°C - 29°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and reduce weed growth. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and fruiting. Provide support with a trellis or cage to keep the cucumbers off the ground and promote better air circulation. Harvest the cucumbers when they are firm, dark green, and about 6-8 inches long, typically 50-60 days after sowing. Monitor for pests like aphids and cucumber beetles and manage them as needed.
