Sowing

To enjoy the full flavour of 'Alhambra F1' cucumbers, it's important to pay attention to a few key aspects during sowing. Seeds should be placed in soil at the right temperature, ideally in a well-sunlit area. It's crucial that the soil is adequately loose and well-drained to provide optimal growing conditions.

Sowing Depth

'Alhambra F1' cucumbers are best sown at a depth of 2-3 cm. This placement in the soil allows for even germination and protection from adverse weather conditions. Sowing too deep can hinder emergence, while too shallow may lead to drying out.

Direct Sowing Period

When should you sow 'Alhambra F1' cucumber seeds directly into the ground? The best time for sowing is mid-May. This is the ideal moment when the soil is sufficiently warmed, and the risk of frost is minimal. It's important to remember that cucumbers prefer warm conditions, making this timing crucial for successful cultivation.

Sowing Period Under Cover

When should you sow 'Alhambra F1' cucumber seeds under cover? This can be done as early as April. Sowing under cover allows for an earlier start to cultivation, offering the chance of earlier harvests. This method also protects young plants from variable weather conditions, providing a more stable start.

Plant Spacing

Cucumbers of this variety should be planted with a spacing of 60x40 cm. Such distance between plants ensures they have adequate space to grow and develop. This allows each plant access to sufficient light and nutrients, resulting in more plentiful yields.

Harvest Period

'Alhambra F1' cucumbers can be harvested from July to September. During this time, the fruits reach the best quality and flavour. Regular harvesting encourages plants to continue fruiting, allowing you to enjoy fresh cucumbers for a longer period.
