Sowing and care
Although cucumbers can also be directly sown outdoors, preculture indoors is recommended. The hardened plantlets are then planted outdoors after the last frosts. Later, the plants can grow up on a climbing aid or be kept creeping on the ground. Plenty of water has a good effect on the fruit quality.
