Thompson & Morgan Cucamelon

BUYERS NOTES

Best grown as a half hardy annual in the greenhouse, but will fruit prolifically in a sunny spot outdoors. The vigorous slender vines will need support/netting to ramble and can be trimmed if become too rampant. The vines are carpeted with dainty yellow flowers which form huge numbers of larger grape-like fruits all summer. Fruits are firm, juicy with a refreshing cucumber and hint of lime flavour.

Sowing Information:

Sow seed on the surface of a free-draining compost and cover with about 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 21-24C (70-75F) until germination, then reduce to 18C (65F). Germination up to 21 days.

Growing Information:

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant out, 1 plant per 25cm (10in) container or 2 plants per growbag. Can also be planted outdoors in a sunny spot in late May/June once all risk of frost has passed. Plants will need support to ramble.
