1. Choose a Planting Location:
Cucumbers need full sun to grow well 🌞. Choose a location with well-drained soil.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Cucumbers prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Amend the soil with compost to ensure fertility 🌾.

3. Planting Instructions:
Plant seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. For rows, space them 36-48 inches apart to allow the vines to spread.

4. Watering Requirements:
Cucumbers need consistent moisture, especially during dry spells 💧. Water deeply, but avoid wetting the leaves to prevent mildew.

5. Germination Time:
Cucumber seeds typically germinate in 5-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Support cucumber vines with a trellis if needed. Harvest cucumbers when they are firm and before they become too large 🥒.
