Cucumber Tanja Organic Seed

WHERE TO SOW

 Indoors - Sow individual seeds edgewise 1cm deep in 9cm pots under glass at a constant temperature of 25°C.  As soon as the seedlings have produced three true leaves, transplant to 15cm pots.  When the plants are 10cm tall, plant out to the growing site. 

 Outdoors - Sow from mid May 30cm apart in rows 100-150cm apart.  Water regularly.  When watering, always use tap water at room temperature to avoid any bacterial infection. 

HANDY TIP

 One of the traditional ways to ensure germination is to fold a damp sheet of kitchen paper in half, and place the seeds on their edge in the fold.  Then place in a plastic bag and put them in the airing cupboard.  Check daily and once germinated, place in compost and grow on as normal.
