Cucumber 'Ashley'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Ashley is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.8 as Ashley likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Cucumber plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Ashley about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplants well. Use bone meal with a regular garden fertilizer when transplanting.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Ashley is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late spring.
