A reliable & heavy-cropping cucumber producing a tasty harvest of dark green, cylindrical fruits from July onwards. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner. Outdoor variety. Rob says: Once you see the tiny cucumbers on the plant, water with tomato food every week. The cucumber wont know its not a tomato & this will give you bigger fruit. After the cucumber plant has produced 7 true leaves (not including the 2 you get when it sprouts), I snip off the growing tip. This makes the plant produce more side shoots, which produce more fruit. ...

Rob says: This gorgeous little crunchy white cucumber took some finding. It was first sent to an American seed company back in 1890, from a gentleman in New York.

Growing your own fruit & veg has never been more popular, & whatever you like to grow fruit, vegetables, plants or shrubs you will have probably thought about buying a greenhouse, cold frame or poly tunnel at some time or other. So why havent you done anything about it? Greenhouses are costly, difficult to erect & often require quite a fair bit of space besides being a permanent structure. You probably only need your greenhouse at certain times of the year but once it's in place, they're there all year around. Wouldnt it be nice if you could take it down in a matter of minutes & store it away under your kitchen sink, for example, until next year, or even until your garden party is over? Well you can if you have a Culti-Cave. Depth 80cm (31) x width 200cm (78) x height 167cm (66). ...
