Cultivation advice Cucumber Dragon Egg
- Sow under cover (protected with warmth provided) from Mid spring, 3-4 seeds 1 in deep in a 3 in 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.
