Cucumber Telegraph Improved Seeds

Cucumber Telegraph Improved

This is the nearest old variety to a glasshouse type. It produces medium-long, dark green fruits. It can be grown outside, under glass or polythene tunnels or in a cold frame.

Sow direct in the growing site by preparing individual holes for each plant. Work plenty of organic matter in a hole 30cm deep and 45cm square. Cover with soil to make a slight mound on which to sow the seeds. Sow 2 or 3 seeds at each position from mid-may or sow sow earlier under cloches or in a glasshouse in peat pots or modules. Thin the strongest seedlings as soon as possible.
