GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO CUCUMBERS:
Cucumbers, which develop long vines, can be pruned regularly. For outdoor cultivation, a reasonably good summer is needed (depending on the variety), and all varieties grow well in a greenhouse. Sometimes it is advisable to let the plant grow outdoors if fruit set fails! Cucumbers are usually harvested unripe, unless the skin becomes particularly attractive when ripe. Unripe fruits are sliced and used raw in salads; ripe fruits can be scooped out like a melon. Many small cucurbits or (extremely) young harvested fruits are eaten as gherkins (pickled) or as a healthy snack with a drink or meal. Pay attention to the individual descriptions of our species and varieties; some are purely ornamental and NOT edible!

Sowing method: Indoors from late March - late May. Most varieties grow well outdoors (see variety description), but in the greenhouse, success and harvest are greater. Transplanting: in the greenhouse from late April, outdoors from late May. Don't just focus on the date, but especially on the weather!
