2. Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, typically within 7-14 days.
3. Thinning: Once seedlings develop a few true leaves, thin them to the recommended spacing to promote healthy growth.
4. Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertiliser to encourage strong growth and fruit production.
5. Harvesting: Harvest cucumbers when they reach about 15-20cm (6-8 inches) long for optimal flavour and texture. Regular harvesting encourages continuous fruiting.
