(58-67 days) Very popular long, slender, dark green cucumbers. The 8-9 inch fruits stay uniformly dark green even under weather stress. Excellent slicing cucumber and can be used to make dill pickles. Terrific in salads and for other fresh uses. Is resistant to many cucumber diseases. 
SOW in fertile, well-drained soil after all danger of frost from spring to early summer. For “hill” culture, space 6-8 seeds in groups 4-5 apart. Cover with ½-3/4″ of soil, firm lightly and keep moist. OR sow seeds 8″ apart in rows 4-5 apart if growing on a trellis or fence. Seedlings will emerge in 7-14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
THIN to 3 strong plants to each group if using “hill” method when seedlings are 6-8″ high. If using trellis method, thin plants to stand 8″ or more apart.
SUGGESTIONS: Keep fruits picked to encourage more production. . Keep soil moderately moist during germination. Water deep and feed every 3 weeks.
Reminder: Plant some fresh dill for homemade pickles.
PLANTING Options How to Plant Cucumbers
Cucumbers can be planted in containers, rows, hills, or raised beds. Be warned: one plant produces a lot of cucumbers. And, some plants can produce all summer long. So, think about spacing out plantings to harvest all season.
Containers
Hills
A hill of cucumbers. Know what this it? Because, I thought I had it down pat, and I was wrong. I thought it was about mounding the dirt for water retention around the roots. Well, sort of, but there’s more to it than just that.

Vine crops are often grown this way, like cucumbers, squash, and melons. The idea of hill planting is to start the root system in the center. From there they grow outwards, not competing with each other for water or soil nutrients.
Again, hill planting is for your vine cucumbers. Hills need to be about 3 feet apart. Plant about 5 or so seeds in the hill. Once seedlings have established, reduce to only three plants. Instead of pulling up the seedling, just cut it off. This will prevent any disruption to the root system.
Remember, vine cucumber plants are better trellised. These plants have healthier vines, and harvesting is easier since you can see the fruit. Check here for a ton of information on home grown trellised cucumbers.
Raised Beds
You can plant any type of cucumber in a raised bed. The benefit of using raised beds with cucumbers is soil drainage. Raised beds, in general, will provide well drained soil.
I keep saying raised beds are my preferred gardening method. There’s a reason I say this: it makes gardening easier! It’s easier to reach the vegetables, control soil health, and control pests and weeds.

Companion Plants for Cucumbers
Growing these companion plants around cucumbers will be helpful: nasturtiums, radishes, marigolds, sunflowers, peas, beets, carrots, and dill.
