Sow Indoors
Harvest
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds in individual 9cm (3 ½ in) pots filled with seed compost. Push these large seeds on their side into the compost to a depth of 1cm (1/2 in). Place in a warm environment 20-25°C (70-75°F). As seedlings develop grow on in cooler, light conditions but avoid direct sunlight.
Planting on indoors
Transplant young plants to grow bags, pots or a border in the greenhouse and providing string or cane supports to train stems up.
Planting on outdoors
Gradually accustom plants to outdoor conditions for two to three weeks before planting out to permanent outdoor planting positions. Space plants 30cm (12in) apart.
If growing outdoors provide a protected shelter like a mini polytunnel as this variety appreciates a warm environment.
Harvests
Regular picking promotes further growth. Water well and feed with a high-potash fertiliser when flowers appear to encourage flower and fruiting.
How To Grow
Growing cucumbers from seed is a brilliant way to enjoy fresh, flavour-packed harvests straight from your garden or greenhouse. These productive plants are easy to grow, quick to establish, and a joy to pick once the season gets going.
Indoor Sowing Start seeds indoors from April, sowing into small pots of quality seed compost mixed with about 25% vermiculite for moisture retention. Keep them warm and bright on a sunny windowsill or in a heated propagator. Once seedlings develop a few true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, harden them off before moving outdoors or into a greenhouse.
Planting Out Harden seedlings gradually over 7–14 days, placing them outside for a few hours each day. Transplant into larger pots, growbags, or beds in fertile, well-drained soil in a sheltered sunny spot. Allow 45cm between plants and 45cm between rows.
Outdoor Sowing Direct sow from late May to June, when soil is warm and frost-free. Cover seeds lightly and water well. This method suits warmer regions, though indoor sowing gives a more reliable start in cooler areas.
Harvesting Cut cucumbers from the vine with a sharp knife or scissors to avoid damaging plants. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous cropping.
Companion Planting Grow cucumbers alongside marigolds, nasturtiums or radishes to deter pests and support healthier growth.
