The gardener’s choice, Pepinex F1 produces smooth long and bitter free fruits, with a good disease resistance and tolerance to powdery mildew. It makes for a good early variety with the first fruits being ready in 10 to 12 weeks.

Cucumber, a traditional salad vegetable which can be produced either in a glasshouse or outdoors, the Pipinex F1 produces smooth long and bitter free fruits, with a good disease resistance and tolerance to powdery mildew. The long green types found in the shops can only be grown with the aid of a heated glasshouse, but other forms are quite at home in your vegetable plot of produced earlier using cloches, cold frames or polytunnels.

Sow seed on edge to prevent rotting 1.5cm (1/2") deep in individual 9cm (3 1/2in) pots under glass at a constant day and night temperature of 21°C. As soon as the seedlings have formed 3 true leaves, transplant into 15cm (6") pots. When the plants are about 10cm (4") tall, plant out into final positions into large pots or growbags underglass. Provide some form of support and tie in stems as required. Male flowers (those with no fruit behind) can appear under stress conditions, these should be removed immediately.

Look to mature between July to September, remember that Cucumbers prefer a moist atmosphere. Keep well watered and feed regularly once fruits start to set.
