Crystal Lemon cucumbers enjoy warmth, shelter, and regular watering. Sow seeds indoors into small pots or modular trays using peat-free organic compost. Keep warm (18-22°C) and moist until germination, then grow on in good light.
Plant out after all risk of frost has passed into a sunny, sheltered spot, outdoors or under cover. Space plants well and train vines up strings, canes, or netting to improve airflow and fruit quality. Harvest fruits young for the best flavour and texture.
Sow indoors: March to May
Plant out: May to July
Harvest: July to October

Crystal Lemon cucumbers are delicious eaten raw as a refreshing snack or sliced as a simple side dish for barbecues. Their mild, non-bitter flavour makes them a crowd-pleaser. They pair beautifully with mint and dill, and are excellent grated for raita or tzatziki-style sauces.
