ABOUT
Cretan 'Atzouri' Cucumber
- This Cretan treasure is famous amongst the villages! They grow long and fat and are half melon so they are super tasty and sweeter than normal cucumbers.
- They have beautiful light green coloured skin which is covered in moss-like fur that dissolves with water (So no affect on taste/texture just looks cool!)
- A very distinct variety are hard to find and go great in every salad! They make a fantastic summer snack on their own sliced and sprinkled with some salt.
- Plant care as per normal cucumbers with lots of water in well composted and aerated soil.
- They are very sensitive to frost so plant in late spring (depending on your micro climate) after nights stop dropping under 10/11 degrees Celsius.
- Plant in in a morning-Mid afternoon exposed spot and train on a trellis for best results.
- Will climb up and spread to 60-80cm tall and wide and dont like to much root disturbance so space plants about 70-80cm apart.
