How to sow cucumber seeds

Sow seed on edge to prevent rotting 1.5cm (1/2") deep in individual 9cm(3 1/2in) pots under glass at a constant day and night temperature of 21°C.     

As soon as the seedlings have formed 3 true leaves, transplant them into 15cm (6") pots.

When the plants are about 10cm (4") tall, plant out outdoors once hardened off and all risk of frost has passed.

Grow up against netting or allow to trail along the ground.
