The 'Zefir F1' field cucumber's SEED TAPE combines seeds of a unique variety with the modern innovative seeding method. 

The 'Zefir F1' is an early hybrid variety intended for field cultivation. The vigorous plants display high resistance to diseases, including the downy mildew, and can therefore produce high yield. The shapely fruit don not develop a 'neck' at the epicalyx ending. They are bright green with lighter streaks, while their shiny skin is covered with small spines. The flesh of the 'Zefir F1' cucumber is considered one of the tastiest among the field cucumbers. It tastes great both raw and pickled.

Seeds that are placed on a cellulose tape should be placed on the beds 1.5 to 2 cm deep from mid May to June. Cover them with a thin layer of soil and water thoroughly. The 'Zefir F1' field cucumber requires a fertile soil that is rich in nutrients. The site should be well lit, warm and sheltered from the wind. The harvesting starts in July. Collect the seeds in batches as they gradually mature.

Seed tapes constitute an innovative seeding method that is both quick and convenient. They allow you to use the space in the garden in the most efficient way and reduce the labour required to grow delicious crops. The optimal positioning of the seeds eliminates the need for the cumbersome seedlings thinning and provides the plants with optimal development conditions. The tapes are made entirely of biodegradable, organic materials. They do not impair the quality of the vegetables or the soil in any way. 

One package contains 6 metres of seed tape (with ca. 60 seeds). The basic growing instructions and the sow-by date can be found at the back of the package.
