Cultivation Advice 

  • Best sown under cover (protected / heated) from Mid spring,
  • 3-4 seeds 1in deep in a 3in pot in good compost,
  • and thin later to the best one or two plants per clump.
  • (These will not germinate in cold / damp conditions, use a propagator or warm draft free windowsill)
  • Transplant no later than 3 weeks after seeding as cucumbers have a tap root that can be easily damaged.
  • Cucumbers germinate and grow best when summer really gets going,
  • and will not appreciate being planted out too early unless protected with fleece.
  • To avoid bitterness, keep plants evenly moist at all times.
  • Cut fruits regularly to encourage long continuous production.
