HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS itercint Scie tes: 
rich soil but do 
fairly well most anywhere. Plant seed liberally because bugs 
sometimes take some of the seedlings. Don’t crowd cucum- 
bers—give them plenty of room. Make the hills at least 4x6 
feet and more if you have space. Plant when the ground is 
warm and figure about 36 hills to a packet of seed or 100 hills 
to the ounce. For late pickles, plant in June.
