Kings Cucumber Marketmore Seeds

An old favourite but still a reliable and productive outdoor ridge Cucumber. Thick dark green fruits up to 20cm in length with small white spines and produced in abundance. Sow: April to May. Plant Out: May to June. Harvest: July to September. Where to Sow: Sow seed on edge to prevent rotting 1.5cm (1/2") deep in individual 9cm (3 1/2in) pots under glass at a constant day and night temperature of 21°C. What to do next: As soon as the seedlings have formed 3 true leaves, transplant into 15cm (6") pots. When the plants are about 10cm (4") tall, plant out outdoors once hardened off and all risk of frost has past. Grow up against netting or allow to trail along the ground. Can also be cropped under glass, planted into large pots or growbags. Provide some form of support and tie in stems as required. Handy Tip: Pick the fruits regularly to ensure a continuous crop. Feed and water regularly.
