Fatty Seeds – Cucumber
Cucumber is a popular fruiting vegetable known for its crisp, juicy texture and mild, refreshing flavour. Commonly enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, pickles and other dishes, it is a versatile addition to everyday meals. Thriving in Singapore's warm tropical climate, Cucumber is suitable for growing in large pots or garden beds with sufficient sunlight and climbing support.
Planting Guidelines:
-
Sow the seeds directly into well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, approximately 2–3cm deep. Space the plants 30–45cm apart to allow sufficient room for healthy growth. Provide a sturdy trellis or climbing support to encourage vertical growth and prevent the fruits from touching the ground.
-
Seeds typically germinate within 3–10 days, and the cucumbers can be ready for harvesting in approximately 60–90 days, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest the fruits when they are firm, green and well-developed, before they become overripe. Regular harvesting helps encourage continuous fruit production.
-
Cucumber grows best in full sunlight, preferably receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and fruit development. Ensure good drainage and adequate airflow to promote healthy growth.
