Cucumber - Carosello Barese - Cucumis adzur - Long slender fruits with crisp texture - Fresh Seeds

Cucumber Carosello Barese (Cucumis adzur) is an annual plant with a vigorous habit and long, delicate shoots that spread along the ground. It produces slim, elongated fruits with a light green, slightly fuzzy skin and a tender, crisp flesh with no bitterness. The flavour is mild, with a subtle natural sweetness typical of this variety. It is a great way to add something different to your garden and enjoy healthy home-grown harvests, and you can buy the seeds at GardenSeedsMarket.

Sowing depth

Sow Carosello Barese seeds 2-3 cm deep. This helps support even germination and healthy early growth while also protecting young seedlings from excess moisture.

Outdoor sowing time

The best time to sow outdoors is from May to June, once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed.

Sowing under cover

Plan sowing under cover in March or April. This allows you to raise seedlings earlier, so harvesting starts sooner and the plants are stronger and better able to cope with changeable weather.

Planting out

Plant out well developed seedlings in May. At this time, air and soil temperatures support fast, vigorous growth.

Spacing

When planting, keep 80-120 cm between rows and about 15 cm between plants. This gives the shoots space to spread and improves access to light and air around the fruits, helping reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Harvest time

Harvest from July to September, when the fruits reach their best size and the skin develops a glossy look. Pick regularly, as younger fruits have the most delicate flavour and are ideal for eating raw.

Growing

Carosello Barese grows best in warm, sunny positions in fertile, free-draining soil with moderate moisture. Provide supports or enough space for the shoots to spread freely. You can sow from mid May to mid June for staggered ripening over the season. The crisp flesh is excellent in the kitchen and adds freshness to summer salads, sandwiches, and snacks.
