Cucumber - Jogger F1 Hybrid
This is an 'American slicer',outstanding in T&M outdoor trials in a poor growing season. The trailing plants produce a good crop of very dark green skinned 22-25cm juicy, but crisp, bitter free fruits with soft white spines with slow seed development.
Sow seed 1cm deep, in 7cm pots of free-draining compost. Place in a propagator and keep at around 20-25C until after germination, which usually takes 7-10 days. Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost, 90cm apart. Pick fruits regularly when small to ensure continuous cropping. Feed and water regularly for increased yields.
