Armenian cucumber

Growing from seed

Start Armenian cucumber indoors about 3 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 7 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 30 cm apart. It is frost-tender, so don't plant out early. Expect to harvest in roughly 60 days.

Armenian cucumber seed rarely stays viable beyond 5 years — track what's still worth sowing.
