How to Grow Parisian Gherkin Cucumbers

To grow Parisian Gherkin cucumbers, you will need:

• Parisian Gherkin cucumber seeds
• Well-drained soil
• Compost or manure
• Full sun
• Water
• Trellis or tomato cage (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare your soil by adding compost or manure. This will help to improve drainage and fertility.
2. Plant your seeds directly in the ground when the soil temperature has reached at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and 6 inches apart.
3. Water your cucumbers regularly, especially during hot weather. They should receive about 1 inch of water per week.
4. When the cucumbers are about 6 inches tall, you can start fertilizing them with a balanced fertilizer. Fertilize every two weeks until the plants begin to flower.
5. Parisian Gherkin cucumbers can grow to be quite long and heavy, so it is a good idea to provide them with some support. You can use a trellis or tomato cage to help the plants grow upwards.
6. Cucumbers are ready to harvest when they are about 1-2 inches long. To harvest, simply cut the cucumbers from the vine with a sharp knife.
