Cucumber 'Bushy'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Bushy 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 Bushy likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

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

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