Description
This popular old English variety is suitable for outdoor cultivation and greenhouse. It can be grown on the balcony or terrace. Since cucumbers, which lie on the ground, like to grow crooked, it is better to grow them on vine supports, then they will be nice and straight. Regularly pick through, this stimulates flowering. Shorten shoots if necessary. Sowing Half of May - half of June, under glass at the end of April - half of May. Germination Presoak seeds overnight, this will speed up germination. From the end of April pre-cultivation on the windowsill. Culture Requires climbing support. Transplant into pots at the end of May and plant outdoors after about 2 weeks. Cultivation also possible in a box.
