Grow your own salad cucumber with our grow bucket, ideal for a sunny patio or growing in a conservatory or greenhouse. Growing instructions, Place coir block into a large waterproof container and add water. Allow coir to absorb the water for an hour, and then mix the prepared moist coir with the soil before planting. Fill the planter with a moist growing medium mixture and add the slow release fertilise. Open the sachet of seeds and evenly sow 2-3 seeds over the moist soil. Gently press the seeds into the soil to ensure good contact, approximately 5-8mm deep. Grow on in a warm environment. The planter can be transferred outdoors in a shelter, sunny position from late June. Pinch out the growing tip to encourage fruit production once the plant has produced at least seven leaves. Keep the soil evenly moist. Cucumber plants will climb up netting or trail along the ground, so provide support to suit your growing area. The cucumbers can be harvested 12-14 weeks from sowing. Harvest when cucumbers are evenly green and firm. Cut the stem cleanly and harvest regularly to encourage further crops. Galvanised zinc bucket planter contains soil and coir growing medium, a sachet of seeds and plant food. Sow indoors from April to May, harvest from July to October.
