There are a few considerations given when planting cucumbers. It is good to give consideration to plant the cucumber on the ridge. Before starting to plant the cucumber, get a a stick and start making a deep furrow of about 1 inch. Place it in the middle of the ridge. On every foot in the row, put in at least 3-4 seeds. Next, put an inch of soil over the seeds. Firm up the soil. Remember not to grow the fruits next to trees as they fight for nutrients. It is also a good idea to plant lettuce in the middle of the cucumber hills. These crops are a bit faster in growing, so the amount of space wont go wasted. The slicing types of cucumber plants grow atleast 8 inches long and an inch thicker. The picking variants grow 4 inches long. Hope this helps.
