Final spacing - Around 45 cm

Sow one seed per small pot and keep warm. Plant outside once the seedlings are strong and the weather is reliably mild.

These measurements are only a guide. Growing is not an exact science, so do not worry if every seed is not perfectly placed.

Grower tip: Water the soil around the plant rather than soaking the leaves. Consistent watering helps the fruits develop evenly and reduces bitterness.

Growing

Cucumbers like warmth, sun and steady watering. Keep the soilmoist, but not waterlogged. Support plants with canes or netting if you want to grow them upwards. Feed regularly once fruits start forming.

Pots & Space

Cucumbers can grow in large pots or grow bags. Use one plant per large pot, ideally at least 30 cm wide. Place in a sunny, sheltered spot and provide support for climbing.

Harvest

Harvest when cucumbers are firm, green and around 15 cm to 20 cm long. Pick regularly to encourage more fruits. Do not leave fruits too long on the plant, as this can slow production.
