Description

Net cucumber "de Sikkim" is an old variety from northern India with intense cucumber flavor. The cucumbers are characterized by the fact that they have a brownish coloring with light cracks. The net cucumbers are considered to be rich-bearing and very robust. Diseases and pests are hardly observed on them. Especially for allotment gardeners and self-suppliers net cucumbers have very interesting properties. When harvested young, they are used as pickling cucumbers. When they are bigger, they can be used for salads (fresh consumption), and when they are even more mature, they can be processed into mustard cucumbers or stewed (wok, vegetable stir-fry, side vegetables for letcho, etc.). It should be noted, however, that the peel must be removed as soon as it has taken on a dark color. Before that, it can be eaten. Matured net cucumbers can be stored in a cool place (cellar) for several weeks. Fruit size 15-30 cm/5.9-11.8 in long, very good storage.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

Sowing is done, as with other cucumbers, around May 10 in the form of direct sowing in the open ground or with preculture in a pot. However, the plants sown directly on the bed, later thrive much more robustly than the offspring in the pot. Cultivation in a greenhouse is possible. The demands on the soil are lower than for the conventional cucumber varieties. Lime should not be given. Can be grown ground-covering or climbing. Harvesting the young fruit promotes fruit set and thus yield.
