Cucumbers are extremely susceptible to frost damage; the soil must be at least 70ºF (20ºC) for germination. Do not plant outside too soon! Before you plant outside, select a site with full sun. Soil should be neutral or slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.0. Cucumbers require fertile soil. Mix in compost and/or aged manure before planting to a depth of 2 inches (5 cm) and work into the soil 6 to 8 inches (15-20 cm) deep. Make sure that soil is moist and well-drained, not soggy. Light, sandy soils are preferred for northern gardens, as they warm quickly in the spring. For an early crop, start cucumber seeds indoors about 3 weeks before you transplant them in the ground. They like bottom heat of about 70ºF (20ºC). Once the ground is warm, mulch with pine straw, chopped leaves, or another organic mulch to keep pests at bay, and also keep bush types off the ground to avoid disease. Also trellis is a good idea.
