crochetkim's Lemon Cucumber Care Instructions
If sowing directly, aim to sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm).
Cucumber 'Lemon' normally tends to reach to a mature height of 30.0 cm [imperial: 11.7 inches] so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has fluorescent light - Cucumber 'Lemon' should be planted in a location that enjoys full sun.
Remember to water often.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (7b) is within the ideal range for Cucumber 'Lemon'. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 14.
Cucumber 'Lemon' ideally needs a soil ph of 5.5 to 6.8 (acidic soil), so check your soil acidity regularily.
Cucumber problems include Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Powdery Mildew, and Aphids, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.

Congratulations! I’m still months away from my last spring frost, so it’s great to see other people getting started already.

I think we might have passed our last frost, as unnatural as it seems. We’re still trying to be wary. But, I’m hopeful that we won’t dip too low in the next couple of weeks. Our fruit trees are setting fruit already (very early).
