Cucumber Crystal Apple Seed

Cucumber Crystal Apple is easy to grow, producing prolific crops of small fairly round cues which become deeper yellow as they mature.

Sow 12mm deep, direct in final position. Sow 4 or 5 seeds in clumps, later thinning to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 40-50cm between clumps. When the young plants have 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out growing tips to encourage growth of side shoots. Grow alongside a trellis or fence if space is limited. Keep plants well watered, and prepare the soil well by adding organic material and a complete fertiliser. Plant in Spring to mid Summer.
