Our Cucumber Lebanese are an excellent, sweet-tasting, burpless variety of cucumber seeds. Cucumber Lebanese seeds produce a great snack that can be eaten whole or sliced but are best when picked up to 10cm (4in) long. This variety is high-yielding with excellent flavour. Be sure to treat yourself to some of these delicious vegetable seeds from Mr Fothergill’s.

How to Sow Seeds

Method: Direct sow
Growing notes: Sow our Cucumber Lebanese seeds 12mm (half-inch) deep, directly in the final position. Sow 4-5 seeds in clumps, later thin to the two strongest seedlings. Allow 100cm (3ft) between rows and 40-50cm (16-20in) between clumps. Best grown with support such as a trellis.

At 5 or 6 leaves, pinch out growing tips of Cucumber Lebanese to encourage side shoots. Keep well watered and prepare the soil with organic material and/or complete fertiliser.
