2. Sowing:Â Plant in "hills" of rich soil, sowing 4-6 seeds per hill. Thin to the strongest 2-3 plants.
3. Care:Â Provide plenty of water early on, but reduce watering as the fruits approach maturity to concentrate the sugars.
4. Harvesting: Harvest at "full slip"—when the stem separates easily from the fruit.
5. Pests & Disease: Watch for Cucumber Beetles and Powdery Mildew. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to keep the vines healthy.

Outstanding!
Very reliable grower & heavy producer. Fruit is just amazing - will never eat store-bought again! Absolutely no problem growing in our very humid and hot Virginia summer, bug & disease free, and continued producing up to the first frost. My third year growing it.
