Cucumber Pickling Gherkin

Sow 12mm (½”) deep, direct in final position. Sow 2 or 3 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the strongest seedling. Allow 40-50cm (16-20”) between clumps. When young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out growing tips to encourage growth of side shoots. Keep well watered. Seedlings emerge 6-10 days.

These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL), do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals.

Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties of seeds. It does not affect your crops or harm insects such as bees.

If your packet has been treated it will be well marked with a warning and the seeds will be dyed a distinct colour.
