How to grow Cucumber 'Rocky'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Rocky 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 Rocky likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Growing Rocky from seed

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

Transplanting Rocky

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

Harvesting Rocky

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