Cultivation method:
Sow seeds indoors about 3 weeks before the last frost, using biodegradable pots such as Jiffy pots to minimise transplanting shock. Transplant into the garden when the soil is at least 16°C and there is no risk of frost. Plant 5-6 seeds per mound, spacing plants 1.5-3m apart to ensure good development.
Cucumber prefers light, rich, well-drained soil. The use of black mulch is recommended to protect the seeds, warm the soil, and conserve moisture. Grow plants on a trellis to maximize space and obtain long, straight fruits. Maintain consistent moisture to prevent bitterness and promote uniform growth.
Harvest the fruits when they reach their full length, between 38 and 40 cm , to enjoy their crunchy texture and exceptional taste. Perfect for fresh consumption, this cucumber will add a touch of freshness and health to your meals all season long.
Add organic 'Burpless' cucumber to your vegetable garden for a bountiful and tasty harvest, ideal for lovers of fresh, easy-to-digest vegetables.
