CUCUMBER Lemon - CUCUMIS sativus
Family: Cucurbitaceae
Characteristics: Annual fruiting vine
Seed per packet: Approx. 20
Seed per gram: Approx. 35
Baseball-sized cucumber variety producing bright lemon yellow coloured fruits. The flavour is excellent, a bit sweeter than regular cucumbers.
Plants are straightforward to grow and do well in areas with short summers, as fruits mature faster and need less heat to ripen than most cucumbers.
Provide support for the growing vines or let trail along the ground.
Cucumbers are a warm-season crop; they will thrive when grown under full sun. The best way to sow them is in well-drained soil with compost and mature animal manure mixed trough.
Sow 2-3 seeds in a mound and thin to the strongest two directly in the garden 10mm deep and 50cm apart, with rows 100cm apart. Keep soil moist and avoid drying out.
Germination occurs in around 5-10 days at an optimum soil temperature of 18-34°C
Cool climates: October to December.
Temperate: September to February.
Sub-tropical: June to March.
Tropical: February to September
Arid climates: August to February.
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- Customers should do their due diligence to ensure the product suits their region.
