Vegetable Seeds A-Z Cucumber


Delicious in salads, adding crunch to sandwiches, and refreshing in summer drinks, cucumbers are a hugely popular summer vegetable. They’re easy to grow from seed, and many varieties don’t even need a greenhouse, growing happily outdoors in a sheltered sunny spot.


Sow cucumbers indoors in early spring and plant out in late spring, or sow outdoor varieties directly outdoors in early summer. Greenhouse cucumbers can taste bitter if pollinated; to avoid this, remove any male flowers (these are easily identified by their long, thin stems). There’s no need to remove male flowers on outdoor cucumbers. Harvest regularly to encourage the plant to keep fruiting.


Sow indoors in early to mid- spring, then plant out late


spring/early summer. Choose fertile, well-drained soil in full sun, and dig in plenty of


well-rotted farmyard manure or garden compost before sowing. Provide support


wires or canes for the plants to climb up.


Sow indoors Feb-Mar with seeds on their sides, 1cm deep in individual pots. Grow on in a heated propagator or on a sunny windowsill. Plant the seedlings out in late


spring (greenhouse varieties) or summer (outdoor


varieties). Water little and often to keep the soil or


compost consistently moist.
