Cultivation advice
Sowing
The seeds are usually sown indoors or in a hotbed 4-5 weeks before planting outside. Sow in pots, 1-2 cm deep. The fastest and most reliable germination is at a temperature of 22-32°C. Thin out to 1-2 plants in each pot and keep them in a light, airy place. Temper the plants before setting them out, which should be when the soil has warmed up and all risk of frost is over. In really warm places it is possible to sow them directly.Spacing
Between the plants 10-25 cm, between the rows 100-150 cm. The climbing vines of the cucumber can be bound up to save space.Harvest
Harvest the cucumbers gradually as they reach the desired length. Do not let them overgrow and become unappetizing. Fresh cucumbers cannot be stored for any length of time, but pickled or soured they can last a whileSeed
30-40 seeds/g, one portion yields 10-15 good seedlings when pre-cultivated or sows about 2-3m. 50 g yield 1000 seedlings and sows about 100m.
A portion contains about 20 seeds.
