Mini-Vespergurke Cucko

Season Overview

Description

This variety produces an enormous number of small and tasty cucumbers for snacking. The supplied cucumber plant will develop into a stately plant in the garden, on the balcony or terrace in no time at all. The tasty mini cucumbers taste best, firmest and crispiest when they are approx. 7 cm long. The mini cucumber can be used in salads or as an ideal snack between meals.

Growing tips

The annual plants can be planted directly in the ground outdoors or in a large pot on the balcony or terrace, as they do not grow very tall. As cucumbers are quite sensitive to the cold, you should only plant them out after the Ice Saints. They also need a lot of warmth while they are growing and require a constant supply of water. Stress conditions such as temperature fluctuations, lack of water or frequent touching lead to the formation of bitter substances. A cultivation break of 3-4 years should be observed. Cucumbers must be able to hold on, as they form long tendrils (2-4 m). Regular harvesting increases the yield as more new flowers are formed.
