Planting..  Sow,Mar-May/June,Plant out June. Harvest, July - Oct.

Where.. 

A well drained soil is important for cucumbers and so they are often planted in raised beds around 6 inches high. Cucumbers will thrive in a sandy loam soil. Ensure the soil has a good amount of organic matter within it, manure will give the plants the nutrients they require. Cucumbers need a good amount of sunshine and warmth. They are a green house favourite. Ensure that you have adequate space as Cucumbers can rapidly reach around 6 feet. Where space is limited train the plant against a wall, stake or trelice. They may also spread over the ground if you have the space. Dig a fair amount of organic compost into the soil. The soil should be turned over down to about a spades depth.

Germination requires a minimum of 20°C and takes about 6-15 days.

Separation..

 Plant 24" apart

.

Care... Weed regularly but be careful not to go below a couple of cm's with your hoe as you may damage the root system which will slow down plant growth. Water the cucumbers well each week if you want them to be juicy and firm! The cucumber fruit itself has a very high water content. The plant has both male and female flowers and the female flowers give rise to the cucumbers. You can aid pollination and increase the fruit count by using a cotton bud to transfer pollen from the male flowers onto the centre of the female flowers. The female flowers distinguished from the male flowers as the females have a tiny cucumber at their base

Harvest.. .Pick as required, better when about 6-8" long. Prolific crops.

As the name suggests "delicate" fruits that are suitable for salads, pickling or if picked VERY ripe they taste good with mustard seed.

These seeds / cucumbers should provided more than enough for the entire season plus more.
