How To Grow
Sow your Telegraph Improved cucumber seeds 12mm (½”) deep directly in their final fruiting position, allowing 45cm (18”) between plants. Provide support, such as a trellis for the vine to climb. When your young cucumber plants have five or six leaves, pinch out their growing tips to encourage the growth of side shoots. Keep them watered and feed biweekly when the fruits start to swell. Seedlings should emerge in 6–10 days.
