Soaking cucumber seeds before planting can help improve germination rates and speed up the sprouting process. Simply soak the seeds in warm water for 8-12 hours before planting. However, this step is optional and depends on your gardening preferences.
For optimal growth, plant 2-3 cucumber seeds per hole, making sure the soil is well-drained and nutrient-rich. This helps provide the seeds with the best conditions for germination. As the seedlings emerge, monitor their growth closely to identify the strongest plants.
Once the seedlings reach about 2 inches tall, thin them to one strong plant per hole to avoid competition for nutrients and water. Regularly check the soil moisture, as cucumbers prefer consistent watering to thrive.

Cucumbers are annual plants, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season. Once the plant has produced fruit and the growing season ends, it will naturally die off. This makes cucumbers an excellent choice if you enjoy refreshing your garden beds with new crops each year.
While you’ll need to replant seeds annually, this also gives you the opportunity to experiment with different cucumber varieties. We recommend testing out some of our unique pickling seeds and our hybrid seed packs.
Cucumbers thrive when planted alongside companion plants like beans, radishes, and marigolds. These plants help deter common pests such as aphids and beetles while also enriching the soil with essential nutrients.
Other excellent companion plants for cucumbers include:
Dill - Attracts beneficial insects
Sunflowers - Can provide shade and support for cucumber vines
Oregano - Repels harmful insects
Be mindful to avoid planting cucumbers near herbs like sage or fennel, as they can hinder cucumber growth. Incorporating companion plants into your garden not only supports healthier cucumber plants but also creates a balanced and vibrant growing environment.
For delicious homemade pickles, our Parisian Organic Hybrid Gherkin Cucumber Seeds are a top choice, offering exceptional flavor and crisp texture. If you're looking for a variety perfect for fresh salads, try our Mini-Me Organic Cucumber Seeds, known for their small size and smooth, burpless qualities.
