Spacemaster, Cucumber Seed Cornucopia

(Cornucopia Seed)
Spacemaster cucumber was developed at Cornell University for its highly productive, but very compact vines. Dark green, smooth skinned fruits grow to 15-20cm (6-8") long on individual stems that rarely exceed 90cm (36"). This compact growth makes them a superb choice for container growing or production in smaller gardens. Pick at a smaller size for crunchy pickles, or let them reach full size for slicing. 
Matures in 58 days.

Cucumbers need very warm soil to germinate. If direct sowing, wait until mid-June. If weather turns cool and wet after that, just re-sow. Or start transplants indoors in individual peat or coir pots 3-4 weeks before transplanting out into warm soil. If starting indoors, use bottom heat. Transplant when the plants develop their third true leaf. If the plants are too big, they may experience transplant shock. Optimal soil temperature for germination (and transplanting): 15-30°C (60-85°F).
 
Sow 3-4 seeds 2cm (1″) deep in each spot you want a plant to grow. Thin to the strongest seedling. Space plants 23cm (9″) apart in rows 90cm (36″) apart.
