Cucumber

Also known as mouse melon these grape sized fruits, growing in profusion on tall slim vines, taste of pure cucumber with a tang of lime; fresh, crisp and tasty. They are happy growing outdoors and you can train them upwards or even let them trail from a hanging basket.                           Price for 10 seeds. 

The really nice flavoured fruits grow up to 20cm long, they are slimmer at the stem end. The plants are both vigorous and productive. If you have ever struggled with downy mildew in wet summers than this variety is the one to try as it is resistant. If you sow under cover then harvesting will be from June. Price for 4 seeds

What can I say… unique does not do this one justice but it is DELICIOUS so don’t be put off as it is well worth growing this heirloom! The skin is whitish yellow until the cucumbers get about 15cm long and then it turns a russet brown colour: crisp and sweet

Just 1 of our plants supplied 2 people with cucumber throughout August and is still cropping and setting fruit (we expect them to keep going to early November) so this will definitely be in our greenhouse next year… Yes it’s expensive but so very productive, tasty and easy.  It’s an all-female variety, pick at 8-15cm long and enjoy.  An AGM winner.

Reliable variety, good crops of dark green fruits with a delightful old fashioned flavour.  This variety is best grown under glass, although it will grow in the open, and will need supporting so that the long fruits dangle straight.  If you don’t mind the fruit curling a bit just let it scramble along.
