Cucumber 'General lee hybrid'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that General lee hybrid is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.8 as General lee hybrid likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

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