Growing instructions:
Grow cucumbers in a sunny, sheltered spot or in a greenhouse for the best results. Plant into rich, moisture-retentive soil or compost and keep well-watered, especially in dry weather. Train plants up a support to improve air circulation and keep fruits clean.
Sow three or four seeds into a 9cm (3.5in) pot of seed compost and keep warm in a propagator or on a sunny windowsill. Once seedlings have produced three true leaves, pot on individually.
Once all threat of frost has passed, harden off carefully and plant into the final growing site allowing 60cm (2ft) between plants. Protect young plants against slugs. It will help if you make small ridges of soil where you plan to grow your cucumbers and plant into the top to help water drain away from the stems and avoid rotting.
