Fresh Cucumbers for Easter
12.4.2021 | 16:50
Fresh Cucumbers for Easter by Vicky and John:
The seed we used was Corentine (used to be called cool breeze), planted in a pot (8”) and kept on our south facing window, and watered twice a day. Approximately 45 days to eating stage.
John built a little trellis for them to climb, as normally they would be spreading.
That variety of cucumber is very productive and our plant has many more that we can pick in a few days.
