Product Overview
Cucumber Spacemaster Seeds
20 seeds
Cucumber Spacemaster is a compact bush variety that produces abundant crops of crisp, flavoursome fruit. Taking up far less room than traditional trailing cucumbers, it is perfectly suited for smaller gardens and thrives in pots, tubs, and containers. Highly productive and tolerant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, it’s a reliable choice for home growers.
How To Grow
Sow seeds 12mm deep directly in their final position. Place 4–5 seeds in clumps and thin to the two strongest seedlings once established. Allow 60cm between rows and 40–50cm between clumps. Seedlings emerge in 7–10 days. When plants reach 5–6 leaves, pinch out the growing tips to encourage side shoots. Keep well watered and enrich soil with organic matter or a complete fertiliser.
When To Plant
Spring and Summer.
Harvest
8–12 weeks from sowing, or when fruits are 5–10cm long.
Sow
Spring, Summer.
Important Note
These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL). Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties of seeds. It does not affect your crops or harm beneficial insects such as bees. If your packet has been treated, it will be clearly marked with a warning and the seeds will be dyed a distinct colour.
