Planting the Cucumbers

Cucumbers or pickles? I’ll take both! This is one of the reasons I was so excited to transplant our cucumbers into the garden the other day. Let me walk you through the process:

  1. Prepare the soil for planting. I got some Organic Compost to place on top of the top soil to enrich the soil and provide a better ecosystem for the cucumbers. I layed out 1 full bag of compost and it allowed for about 2-3 inches of compost layer above the ground.

  2. Take cucumbers out of tray with spoon and begin planting. I used a spoon and spooned them out of the tray they were seeded in. I then dug out some holes with the Korean Hand Plow in the compost and covered them up.

  3. Water the cucumbers. Water the fresh transplants and ensure a safe and secure transplant.’

Below are some pictures of the entire process!
