Cucumber White Pickle Mini – Growing Instructions
Type: Half-Hardy Annual
Temperature Required: 21-25°c
Time to Germinate: 7-14 Days
Days to Maturity: 60 – 70 Days
Position/ Light: Full Sun
- 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 whilst small to encourage long continuous production.
