  • Easy to Grow: Despite their impressive size, these cucumbers are easy to grow, needing just a little care, warm weather, and a bit of space to thrive.

Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start seeds indoors in early spring, about 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors once the frost danger has passed and the soil is consistently warm.
  • Spacing: These giant cucumbers need plenty of space. Plant them at least 90 cm (3 feet) apart to give them room to grow. They can also be trained on a trellis to save space and support their long vines.
  • Soil: Prefers rich, fertile soil that drains well. Add compost or organic matter to your soil to ensure healthy growth.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season, but make sure it doesn’t become waterlogged.
  • Support: Use a trellis or sturdy fencing to support the long vines. This will help keep the cucumbers off the ground and allow them to grow to their full, impressive size.

Harvesting: Harvest cucumbers once they have reached full size, with firm, dark green skin. They can continue to grow longer if left on the vine, so keep an eye on them and harvest before they become too mature or overripe.
