Cucumber: Armenian Yard Long

Approximately 10 Seeds

A unique and unusual variety producing mild flavoured, light green, heavily ribbed fruits grow 24-36 inches long (Best flavour at 12-18 in), that will twist and turn if allowed to grow on the ground, or stay straight on a trellis.

• Sow under cover (protected) from Mid spring,
• 3-4 seeds 1in deep in a 3in pot in good compost,
• and thin later to the best one or two plants per clump.
• Transplant no later than 3 weeks after seeding as cucumbers have a tap root that can be easily damaged.
• Ensure the weather is warm if planting outside,
• ensuring a sheltered and sunny position.
• Cucumbers germinate and grow best when summer really gets going or under glass.
• To avoid bitterness, keep plants evenly moist at all times.
• Can be trained on a trellis to save garden space or left to roam.
• Keep them picked and they’ll keep producing.
