Cucumber Femspot F1

Femspot are so tasty: superb quality with long, lovely fruits that are slightly ribbed. They really do best grown in a greenhouse or polytunnel. We have had cucumbers from July on to the first frost. A truly outstanding all female variety.

SOW & GROW: inside in April/early May in individual pots, keep warm and moist (not waterlogged). Femspot really does need the additional shelter and warmth of a greenhouse (or conservatory) to do its best. The fruits are produced on the main stem and it is possible to tie in the plants as cordons up a single string or wire – leaving space in your greenhouse for other crops. Don’t grow an all-female cucumber with other types as it will be affected by cross pollination. Male flowers can appear under stress conditions, these should be removed immediately.

ENJOY: We’ve picked crisp, flavourful Femspot fruits from July right through to the first autumn frost—plenty to keep up with summer salads and snacking.
