Cucumber - Delikatess - High yields in beds, no bitterness - Fresh Seeds

Cucumber Delikatess is a mid-early outdoor variety valued for steady cropping and high-quality fruit. It produces uniform, cylindrical cucumbers about 15 to 20 cm long, with a thin, dark green skin covered in small bumps and gentle, lighter streaks. The flesh is juicy, crisp, and free from bitterness, making it an excellent choice for eating raw. It is also suitable for preserving, and smaller, younger fruits are best for this, as they keep their firmness, flavour, and colour after processing. This variety is designed for growing in open ground and is a popular option both for everyday use in the kitchen and for making preserves.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 cm. This helps ensure even emergence and supports good root development.

When to sow outdoors

Sow outdoors in May, once the soil is clearly warmed and the risk of frost has fully passed. In warm ground, seeds germinate quickly and evenly.

When to sow under cover

If you want an earlier harvest, sow in March or April indoors or in a greenhouse. Early sowing helps produce strong seedlings that are ready to move outside at the right time.

Planting time

Plant out Delikatess seedlings in May, when they have a few well-developed leaves and the days are warm and long. This helps the young plants establish quickly and grow strongly.

Spacing

Use a spacing of 50 x 100 cm. This makes care easier and gives the plants enough light and room for their shoots to develop freely.

Harvest time

Harvesting usually starts in July and continues until October. This long season lets you enjoy fresh, flavoursome cucumbers from your own garden for many weeks.

Growing tips

Cucumber Delikatess grows best in a warm, sunny spot sheltered from wind. It prefers fertile, humus-rich, free-draining soil. Regular watering is especially important during flowering and fruiting, as it helps produce well-sized fruits. Loosening the soil and removing weeds also supports healthy growth. With basic care, this variety rewards you with abundant yields of healthy, attractive cucumbers.
