Description
One of the longest cucumbers we know. An early and heavy yielding F1 hybrid. Good eating quality, thin skinned and easy to digest.
Grow it either in a greenhouse or outside in the garden - either way you will be rewarded with a heavy crop of good looking, tasty fruits.
Please note - These seeds should ideally be sown this season. All our packets have ‘Sow by Date’ guidance on them, this is the date the seeds should be sown in order to achieve the highest rate of germination. You will still see the same high-quality plants if sowing in seasons after the ‘Sow by Date’ but may see a reduction in germination rate
Growing Calendar
How to Guide
Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually on their edge in small pots of moist seed compost 1cm (1/2in) deep. Place in warmth 20-25-18C (70-75F). As seedlings develop, grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in bright sun.
Planting in a greenhouse
When plants are well established, plant into growing bags, pots or the greenhouse border. Train plants up canes, strings or wires.

90cm / 36inHardening Off/Planting Out
Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passed.
Again, train plants up canes, wires, or a trellis. Plants left to trail across the ground will produce edible but curled cucumbers.
Aftercare
Keep plants well watered at all times, especially those in a greenhouse. Regular feeds with a liquid fertiliser are beneficial.
Do not remove male flowers (those without a fruit behind them) as these are necessary for pollination of the female flowers.
Harvesting
Cut fruits when about 10-15cm (4-6in) long. Regular harvesting prolongs the cropping season. Larger fruits can be left to grow and used as morrows.
