Vigorous climbing vines are ideal for trellises, fences, or vertical gardens, where the fruit grows straighter and stays cleaner. The crisp, juicy cucumbers reach around 20–25 cm long with few seeds, making them excellent for fresh eating, salads, and light pickling. Highly productive when harvested regularly and well suited to warm Australian growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"565\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"528\" data-end=\"565\"\u003eApproximately 20 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"747\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"596\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"599\"\u003eTropics: April to August\u003cbr data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"626\"\u003eSubtropics: August to January\u003cbr data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"658\"\u003eMild climates: September to January\u003cbr data-start=\"693\" data-end=\"696\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eCold climates: After the last frost to early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"1049\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"749\" data-end=\"770\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"773\"\u003eSow seed directly or raise in trays, planting 2 cm deep in fertile, well drained soil in full sun.
