Cucumber Seed 'Crystal Apple'

Cucumis sativus 'Crystal Lemon'

A mild ridge type for frame or outdoor growing.

Each fruit is the size of a small apple. Good flavour and very juicy, good for pickles. Pick young. Easy and fun for children to grow too! This was a Victorian favourite. Excellent when sliced thinly, mixed with yoghurt and chilled for a couple of hours before serving as a side accompaniment to a main course hot dish.

Supplied as a packet of 10 seeds.

How To Grow Cucumber 'Crystal Apple'

Thrives in a rich soil.
Sow in pots late April and plant out in June or sow outside late May/June.
Sow/set out 2ft apart.

When sowing, ideally individually in small pots of good seed compost, place seeds on end blunted end pointing downwards in compost, rounded or pointed end uppermost, push into compost out of sight! Water thoroughly and germinate in a temperature of 75°f. When seed leaves are developed reduce temperature to around 65-70°f. Especially important. Do protect newly sown seeds from mice. Mice are notorious in 'sniffing out' seed of this nature!
