Sow by date of May 24

• Best sown under cover (protected / heated) 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. (These will not germinate in cold / damp conditions, use a propagator or warm draft free windowsill)
• Transplant no later than 3 weeks after seeding as cucumbers have a tap root that can be easily damaged.
• Cucumbers germinate and grow best when summer really gets going, and will not appreciate being planted out too early unless protected with fleece.
• To avoid bitterness, keep plants evenly moist at all times.
• Can be trained on a trellis to save space or left to roam.
• Cut fruits regularly to encourage long continuous production.
