Cultivation tips:

1. Sowing:

   • Sow the seeds directly outdoors in late May or early June when the risk of frost is over.
   • Sow the seeds 1-2 cm deep in well-drained soil and keep a distance of about 25-30 cm between the seeds.

2. Deployment:

   • Plant the cucumbers in a sunny spot in the ground, preferably where there is a good plant support or trellis to give the plants something to climb on.

3. Care:

   • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid the soil becoming waterlogged.
   • Fertilize with nitrogen-rich nutrients to promote rapid growth and high yields.
   • Cover the soil with a layer of straw or compost to conserve moisture and reduce weeds.

4. Harvest:

   • Harvest the cucumbers when they are young, about 5-7 cm long, to get the best flavor for pickling. If the cucumbers grow larger, they become more bitter and less suitable for pickling.
