Top Tips
When harvesting, cut the stem of the fruit with a sharp knife. Avoid pulling them off the plant as this will cause damage and reduce further cropping.
Care Information
  • Prepare the soil well by digging it well rotted manure or compost.
  • Plant 45cm apart and water well until established.
  • Provide a sturdy support, such a bamboo canes, trellis or netting. 
  • Pinch out the growing tip when the plants reach the top of the support, and remove sideshoots once fruit starts to develop, leaving two leaves after each fruit.
  • Your cucumbers will be ready from June to October, when they're about 15cm long. Pick regularly to encourage further cropping.
