An old favourite for outdoor growing.Vigorous habit and high yields of light green ridged fruit. Pick young to avoid bitterness. Sow direct in the growing site by preparing individual holes for each plant. Work plenty of organic matter in a hole 30cm deep and 45cm square,c over with soil to make a slight mound on which to sow the seeds. Sow 2 or 3 seeds at each position from mid-May or sow sow earlier under cloches or in a glasshouse in peat pots or modules. Thin to the strongest seedlings as soon as possible. Cucumber can be trained up supports, in which case plant at 45cm distances. For plants to mature on the ground, leave 75cm between plants. Lay straw or plastic around the plants to keep the fruit clean. Water very thoroughly and regularly. Outdoor crops should be ready from about July onwards. Keep picking to encourage new growth. Some varieties cam be grown either indoors or outside. Choose the growing technique which applies to the growing site. Approx 40 seeds Per Pack
