When to sow cucumbers?
« on: April 12, 2011, 23:29 »
When should I sow F1 Burpless Tasty Green cucumbers so that the plants be ready for hardening off about the middle of May to plant outside by the end of May?

I sowed mine in the living room on 29th March and they're a couple of inches, just getting proper leaves.
They probably grow quicker if you seed later so any time this month would do.

Around the last week of this month for me along with most other stuff like runner/ climbing beans, courgettes etc.

Did mine 2-3 wks ago and they're coming along fine - 'bout an inch tall.

Will remember to keep them cool along with the brassicas by the sounds of it!  ;)

I sowed mine four weeks ago on the window sill. They're in the greenhouse now and are about 6 inches tall. Looking good so far.
