Cucumbers are plants that are grown in warm conditions so must not be planted out until any frosts have passed, a sunny sheltered spot is required. The soil must be well drained and humus rich.

 

Sow indoors between February - April sowing 2 seeds in 7cm pots on their sides about 2.5cm deep place onto a window sill, warm greenhouse or propagator. Pot on the strongest plants when the roots are visible at the bottom of the pots into 10cm pots and grow on. Plant out when all danger of frost has passed. 

 

Apply a liquid fertiliser every two weeks after the first flowers appear.
