Cucumber 'White Spine'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that White Spine is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil has a ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 as White Spine is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

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