Planting cucumber seedlings

I have planted pickling cucumbers and cucumbers for fresh eating at 2 different locations in the garden

In our garden 4, I planted the purely female flowering cucumber varieties I am trying for the first time. These should be planted separate from the male/ female flowering cucumbers. I planted the varieties Cleopha & Kalomira. I planted these in the same location as I had planted the cucumbers last year, so I hope this will not cause any problems.

I mainly planned the cucumbers in our garden 3 in the long compost bed. The cucumbers take about 8 meters of the garden bed and are planted in 2 rows about 1 meter apart and 50 cm apart in the row.

I planted Vorgebirgstraube, which is a pickling cucumber, then Persika, which is a cucumber for fresh eating, and Liefje, which also is a pickling cucumber.

After experimenting with pickling cucumbers last year we found some recipes we all liked and I plan on pickling enough cucumbers to last us the entire year, that is if the cucumbers produce well.
