Description
Mr Fothergill’s Cucumber Passandra F1 Seeds, Short, ‘female’ greenhouse cucumber. Cucumbers do best in a humid atmosphere, so damp down greenhouse floor regularly. Once fruits form, regular feeding will ensure best crops.
Sow indoors 0.5cm deep, edge down, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 20-25°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. When plants have developed 3 or 4 leaves, transplant to larger pots and grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out in large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Provide support and train plants up canes, strings or netting. Stop lateral growth two leaves past each fruit. Pinch out growing tips when they reach the roof. For best results feed regularly when fruits begin to set.
• Prolific, long season ‘mini cues’ for greenhouse crops
• Resistant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus and powdery mildew
• A good source of vitamin C and vitamin A
