Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil after the last frost, when the soil temperature has warmed to at least 65°F. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart, providing enough room for the vines to spread. Cucumbers prefer full sun and consistent moisture to thrive, so be sure to water regularly. The Bristol Hybrid matures in approximately 50-60 days, and harvesting the fruits when they are firm and dark green will encourage continued production throughout the season.
