1 of each variety.
Telegraph
Description
An old reliable favourite that your elder relations would have heard of and maybe have grown. Telegraph is a British bred variety and is an open pollinated (OP) so they WILL need to be cross pollinated, they can be grown either inside or outdoors. They produce medium long dark green fruits with a good flavour that are bitter free.
F1 Burpless tasty Green
Description
This variety has been around for years and has proved to be just as reliable today as it was back then. Burpless can be grown both indoors and outdoors and will produce good quantities of long (25cm) bitter free cucumbers with dark skins. All female variety so NO need to cross pollinate.
F1 Pepinex
Description
Pepinex was bred for the English weather so in a very hot summer they can become quite large. Pepinex produces long, dark green, thin skinned, smooth cucumbers, which have slight ribs, great taste and are bitter free. It is an all female variety so NO need to cross pollinate. They can be grown outside after May/June, but do much better in a greenhouse.
Growing Instructions
Plant 45cm apart in well prepared soil or grow bag in a sunny (above 16°C) but sheltered position (they don't like drafts.) Keep them well watered until established and in dry weather. Carefully train them as they grow, clockwise up a string/stake that's 6 foot high, picking the side shoots and flowers off up to 30cm. Then only pick the side shoots off and let the plant carry on growing up to about 6 feet tall. Once it has reached the top of the string/support let the plant grow wild coming back down towards the floor. Pick off any yellow dead leaves along the way. Only begin to feed once you see the first two cucumbers growing NOT before!
