Cucumber Dragon’s Egg

Sowing info

Cucumber seeds should be sown in a warm place from March to April. Sow the seeds on their sides at a depth of 1cm in small pots of peat free compost, and keep at a temperature of approx 20C until they germinate. This usually only takes 7-10 days. Once they’ve germinated, you can move them to a bright windowsill or frost free greenhouse and grow them there until they’re big enough to be transplanted.

Growing info

Plant out into a sheltered sunny position after all risk of frost has passed. Will require some sort of support to climb. Keep harvesting fruits regularly to encourage a continual supply.
