Cucumis sativus 'Parisian Pickling'

 

Cucumber 'Parisian Pickling'

Cucumber is the common name for a widely cultivated creeping vine bearing cucumiform fruits and is of the same family as melon. There are numerous varieties for cultivation, F1 varieties have been developed that have all female flowers, and none of the male ones; this negates the need to remove all male flowers which would otherwise result in bitter fruits.'Parisian Pickling' has small fruits that are ideal for pickling while young (at around 6") - or can be left to mature and used in salads.

Planting

From Mid Spring TO Early Summer

Plant out seedlings that have germinated in heat into their permanent position in the greenhouse in mid spring in rich well draining soil. For outdoor varieties, harden off when the weather and soil are warm enough, and then plant out into humus-rich soil, in a sunny site, spacing them 3' apart.

 

Propagation by seed

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

Sow cucumber seed in heat under glass in early to mid spring for planting out when risk of frost has passed. Sow the seeds on edge in compost, and water, then keep compost moist until seedlings emerge. Try to maintain a temperature of at least 15 deg. Plant out after seedlings have their first true leaves, and when the soil and weather are warm enough
