F1 Deli Star

Description
A highly productive plant producing medium sized (16-18cm) cucumbers with thin skins and crunchy great taste. An all female variety so no need to cross pollinate.

Harvest
May to November (roughly 8-10 weeks after planting.) Once you see the end of the cucumber changing from pointed to rounded.

Growing Instructions
Plant 45cm apart in a grow bag in a sunny but sheltered position (they don't like drafts and need to be kept above 16°C!) They can be grown outside if we have a hot enough summer, but will do better in a greenhouse. 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! Delistar can produce male flowers if put under stress, make sure to remove these as soon as you see them.
