Is it too late in the year to put a cucumber plant in my garden?

Question

I live in northwest Ohio.

Answer 1

Where are you gardening? If the plant is already started, and you have at least 2 months before frost, you might get some cucumbers. If you're using seeds from a packet, check the estimated days needed for maturity. Then check your calendar to see if you have that many days before the first frost where you live. But remember that cucumbers love hot weather, and need plenty of water.

Answer 2

It actually depends on how long it takes to grow on the back of the seed packet. It will tell it is just a matter of if the plant will be coming up before the first frost of the year. Happy gardening if you are on the west coast you are probably OK. You might want to hurry.

Answer 3

Depends on what part of the US you live in. I'm in FL and it's just too hot here for a Summer garden. Spring & fall are best. Oh...and did you know that a teaspoon of epsom salts once a week prior to watering will make all plants thrive?.

Answer 4

I believe so. Even if the plant grew and produced cucumbers they wouldn't be very large unless you live in a long growing period zone. Best to plant them in early to mid-May once chance of frost is gone.

Answer 5

No it's not too late. I live in central NY just north of Syracuse and I'm still planting stuff. Remember cuc's require direct sunlight.
By the way one of the few benefits of global warming is a longer growing season for us.

Answer 6

It's never to late to put the cucumber in your garden.

Answer 7

I do not know were you are at, but they should have been planted about 6 weeks ago.

Answer 8

its one Tb epsom salt x one foot of plant x one time a week -but works best for acid loving -and lawns --really greens up a lawn

Answer 9
