They are also good for eating as cucumbers when larger. A really hardy, thick green skinned variety and a heavy cropper.
Planting Instructions: Sow seed into tray after danger of frost. Prick out at 6cm diagonal spacings when first leaves appear. Transplant into garden at 50cm diagonal spacings once soil temp reaches 15-16 degrees C.
