Stun family, friends and neighbours alike Armenian Yard Long—amazing, slim, light green cucumbers that can reach 75-90cm in length! Mild and crisp they are perfect for salads. Grown on a trellis the fruits are straight, if left to scramble across the ground they curl and coil into twisted shapes.
Sow & Grow: inside in April/early May in individual pots, keep moist (not soggy) and warm. When they have 2/3 leaves harden off over a couple of weeks before planting out. They like a very sunny and sheltered site or grow in a greenhouse. Let this variety scramble on the ground for fantastic twisted shapes or grow up a sturdy trellis so the fruits hang straight. Keep plants weeded and well-watered. These will ripen later in the season.
Enjoy: try these slices and sprinkled with a little salt & pepper, a touch of vinegar & some garlic or onion – add sour cream & chill before feasting! When very ripe they have a flavour reminiscent of melon.
