• 
  
  Germination Time: (For reference if sowing seeds) 7–14 days at 20–25°C


•

• 
  
  Care Notes: Provide vertical support with canes or netting. Water consistently, especially during fruiting, and feed weekly with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Pinch out the growing tip after 6–7 leaves to encourage side shoots and heavier cropping.

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Grow alongside marigolds to attract pollinators and deter whitefly. Enjoy these cucumbers sliced into salads, layered into sandwiches, or pickled for a refreshing homemade treat.
