Indoor Growing Instructions:

1. Cucumber seeds should be sown on their sides to prevent rotting. Sow indoors 1cm (1/2in) deep in pots or trays of seed compost and cover with a clear lid then keep at around 20 °C.
2. Seeds will usually germinate in 7-21 days. Keep compost moist but not wet.
3. Once seedlings appear remove the cover and grow on in warm conditions.
4. Grow on in a greenhouse or transplant outside once all risk of frost has passed. Final spacing of plants should be 60cm (24in) apart. 

Outdoor Growing Instructions:

1. Sow seeds outdoors from May on their sides 1cm (1/2in) deep in rows 20cm (8in) apart. Cover with compost and water in.
2. As seedlings develop thin or transplant to 60cm (24in) spacing. 
3. Plants will need supports such as stakes or frames as they grow.
