Sow: Indoors, February-May, 0.5cm (¼") deep, on edge, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. When plants have developed 3 or 4 leaves, transplant to larger pots and grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out, May-June, to large pots, growing bags, or into fertile, well-drained soil in the greenhouse border. Harvest: July-October.

Cucumbers do best in a humid atmosphere, so damp down greenhouse regularly. Once fruits form, regular feeding will ensure the best crops.

Provide support and train plants up canes, strings or netting. Stop lateral growth, once 4 sets of leaves have formed. A small number of male flowers (those with no swelling behind the petals) are formed. These should be left on plants until they fade, as they are the pollinators for the female flowers, which produce the fruits. Occasionally, fruits may develop a few small, white spines, which can be rubbed off.
