Cucumber 'Japanese Long'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Japanese Long is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Japanese Long needs a soil ph of 5.5 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

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

Japanese Long is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in late spring.
