Lemon

Cucumis sativus

Long vines produce an abundance of lemon coloured round fruit. The fruit is sweet and never bitter and the skin is quite delicate when picked young. In our experience this variety tends to produce about 10% fasciated plants, with flattened vines and even higher fruit production.

Growing Instructions

Start indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into warm soil. Sow 2cm deep in each pot, using bottom heat. Transplant when plants develop their third true leaf, full sun. Space plants 23cm apart in row and 90cm apart. Ideal well drained, warm soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Keep plants well picked for better production. Water the soil only, keeping the leaves as dry as possible as they can be susceptible to powdery mildew.
