Product Information
Full details
Cucumber 'Carmen' is a unique variety ideal for organic gardeners due to its resistance to all known strains of powdery mildew, scab, and leaf-spot. It produces an abundance of fruits, typically 50 to 100 per plant, with a mild flavour and no bitter aftertaste. This climbing variety, an RHS AGM recipient, is easy to train in a greenhouse and its fruits are excellent for exhibition. It can reach a height of 3m (9') with a spread of 45cm (18"). Supplied as 1 packet containing 4 seeds. Water cucumber plants regularly. Apply greenhouse shading as required and create a humid atmosphere by regularly spraying or damping down pathways. 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 sideshoots once fruit begins to develop, leaving two leaves after each fruit. Remove male flowers from greenhouse types. Outdoor ridge types can be pinched out at the main stem after 7 leaves have formed to encourage sideshoots. Outdoor ridge types require pollination by insects - do not remove male flowers from these varieties. 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. Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
