Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them 1/2 inch deep and spacing them 12 to 24 inches apart in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period. Provide support for the vines to climb, such as trellises or stakes. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth. Harvest the cucumbers when they are firm and dark green, typically 50 to 60 days after planting.
