How to Grow Cucumber in our Backyard- Tips and Tricks

Growing Cucumber in our backyard is very easy. You can buy from Pant Garden which also sells vegetable seedlings for only four to five pesos depending on the size of the seedlings. You can also grow cucumber from seeds which you can buy from Puregold and SM Groceries.

Preparing the soil: 

Cultivate the soil to get it ready for the seedlings. Mostly, the existing backyard soil in the Philippines is almost ready to receive seedlings. If the soil is composed mostly of clay components, you can put garden soil and put on the toppings before planting the seedlings.

Water and Sunlight:

You need to water the seedling twice a day, before sunrise and after sunrise. The seedling needs enough sunlight to thrive faster.

Trellis for Crawling:

After two weeks from planting, you will need a trellis for the plant to crawl. After only one and a half months, we have already harvested the actual cucumber fruits. We used an improvised trellis made from bamboo and plastic straw.
