Growing Guides

ALL THE YEAR ROUND

A traditional favourite butterhead variety! Medium-sized butterhead (soft hearted) variety, which has great flavour and a lovely crisp texture. Plants are slow to bolt and with a long harvesting period.
GRISELLE

A robust spicy taste that will not disappoint! Best planted October to mid December, it multiplies well to give a good crop of long, grey-skinned bulbs in June.
BURPEES BUSH CHAMPION

This superb bush variety grows to only about a third of the size of other varieties, therefore only requiring a third of the space. It's great for containers and raised beds, producing a bountiful crop of delicious cucumbers. Huge 20-30cm (8-12") cucumbers in one third of the space.
HARRIER

One of the quickest maturing varieties producing good yields of fruit in just over 3 months. Fruit have a sweet flesh and average 1kg in weight.
