Cucumber La Diva F1 – Growing Instructions
- Sow under cover (protected / heated) from Mid spring,
- 1-2 seeds 2.5cm deep in a 8cm pot in good compost.
- These will not germinate or thrive in cold / damp conditions, use a propagator/airing cupboard or very warm south facing 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, this variety will thrive equally outdoors in full sun or under cover.
- Inadequate or inconsistent watering can cause oddly shaped or poor-tasting fruit.
- Can be trained on a trellis or grown as a ridge type on the ground.
- Does not need male flowers removed.
- Keep them picked and they’ll keep producing.
