• Sowing time and depth: Sow seeds directly outdoors from mid-May to early June, when the risk of spring frosts has completely passed and the soil has warmed to at least +12°C. Sowing depth: 1.5–2 cm.
• Sowing scheme (distances): Sow in rows with a distance of 80–100 cm between rows. In the row, sow seeds in nests of 2–3 seeds every 15–20 cm. Later, thin out the weaker seedlings.
• Watering and care: Gherkins require regular and abundant moisture, especially during flowering and active fruit setting. It is recommended to water with lukewarm water directly on the soil.
• Harvesting (Important!): To obtain true, small gherkins, harvest must be done daily or every other day. Regular picking of small cucumbers stimulates the plant to immediately produce new fruits.
