- Cucumber : Cucino F1
-
Perfect lunchbox snacks, these exciting little 'cucino' fruits can be eaten straight from the plant without peeling. Crisp, flavorsome mini-fruits are produced prolifically throughout the season indoors or in a sheltered position outdoors.
- Sowing:
- Sow February to May. Sow seed 1/2 inch deep, in 3 inch pots of free-draining compost. Place in a propagator and keep at a temperature of around 68-77F until after germination, usually 5 to 7 days.
- Growing:
- When first true leaves develop, transplant into 5 inch pots. Finally, plant into 10 inch pots or into growbags. Grow on at least 59F. Prefers a moist, well-drained soil.
- Aftercare:
- Train along wire, allowing the main shoot to reach the tip. Pinch out growing point and allow two sideshoots to trail downwards. Keep plants moist at all times, and shade if necessary. Keep humidity high and pick fruits regularly.
