Thompson & MorganCucumber Green Fingers 3 Jumbo Plug Plants
Description
Cucumber ‘Green Fingers’ is comparable to ‘Cucino’ but is suited for outdoor growing against supports. This variety sets fruits well, even in cooler summer conditions, producing an abundance of short, smooth-skinned fruits that are firm and crisp, with a stunning flavour. The mid-green fruits grow to around 10cm and are best picked regularly when they are small for the best possible flavour, but also for maximum yield.How to Grow:. Outdoor (Ridge) types are suitable for growing outside. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before transplanting into warm, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun, with shelter from winds. Plant outdoor cucumbers in single rows at a distance of 90cm (36") apart. Water well after planting until cucumber plants are fully established.Climbing greenhouse types will produce higher yields if allowed to climb. Train the main shoots onto 1.8m (6ft) high nets, canes or strings until they reach the top of their support and then pinch out the growing point. Pinch out side shoots once fruit begins to develop, leaving two leaves after each fruit. Remove male flowers from greenhouse types.When growing cucumbers, harvest regularly to encourage, long continuous production. Pick the fruits whilst young and tender before they show signs of producing seeds, as older fruits can become bitter. Harvesting cucumbers is best done early in the morning when temperatures remain cool.Product Specifications:. Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 300cm (118in). Spread: Up to 45cm (18in) .
