Cucumber – Telegraph Improved- 10 seeds -13586

Description

Good crops of long dark fruits with traditional flavour.  Grows in a warm or cool greenhouse or cold frame.  Good reliable cropper.

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 7-21 days. When plants have developed 3 or 4 leaves, transplant to 12cm (5”) pots and grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out, April-June, to large pots, growing bags, or into fertile, well-drained soil in the greenhouse border. Harvest: July-October.

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