Cucumber Yellow Ball Seeds

Description

Interesting and unusual cucurbit originating from the Karnataka region of India, where it is known as ‘Dosekai’. Wide range of uses including curries and stir-fries. Plants are very similar in growth to an indeterminate cucumber and bear mid-sized spherical, yellow fruit measuring 11-14 cm in diameter. High level of resistance to powdery and downy mildew.

Sow from April onwards individually. It is best to plant the seeds on their side. Keep the soil moist and the temperature about 20C. Plant out from June onwards in the greenhouse. The plant benefits from training up canes, remove side shoots and feed regularly.
