Cucumber Seeds are the seeds of the cucumber plant, used to grow cucumbers in a garden plot. They are a spring crop for anyone keeping a vegetable garden.
The seeds suit a farmer who plans ahead. Cucumbers must go in the ground early in the year, in March, April or May. The plant then takes a long time to ripen. Its strength is a crop that gives back the seeds to plant again. Its cost is a short sowing window and a long grow time.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Cucumber or from cutting seeds out of a ripe Cucumber. They weigh almost nothing, so a large stock is easy to carry. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
The seeds are sown in a garden plot. The plant grows for about 432 hours before harvest. That is eighteen days of game time. Each plant gives two to four Cucumbers at harvest.
Sowing season runs through March, April and May. April is the best month to plant. The crop does badly from August right through to February. A cucumber bed started late in the year is likely to fail.
Zucchini and Watermelon share the same spring window and the same grow time. Tomato Seeds go in a little later, from April to June, and ripen sooner. A spring garden can mix these crops in one plan.
New seeds come from the harvest. The Collect Seeds recipe takes one Cucumber and gives back Cucumber Seeds. It needs tweezers or any knife, and the tool is kept. Saving a few cucumbers keeps the garden going each year.
Seeds can be stored in packets. The Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe fills an Empty Seed Packet - Cucumber with five seeds. Opening a Seed Packet - Cucumber gives five seeds back.
