BUYERS NOTES
Stunning golden-yellow skinned, cylindrical fruits of up to 25cm (10in) in length are produced on upright plants with an open habit and almost spine-free stems, making harvesting easier. Plants have the added bonus of being powdery mildew tolerant until late in the season.
Sowing Information:
Sow seed 2cm (in) deep in 7.5cm (3in) pots of good seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and maintain at 21-25C (70-77F) until after germination which will take 5-7 days. Alternatively, sow seed directly into the ground outside once the soil has warmed and all risk of frost is passed. Plant at a depth of 2.5cm (1in), leaving a distance of 75cm (30in) between sowings in each direction.
Growing Information:
Gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting out after all risk of frost has passed. Plant at a depth of 2.5cm (1in), leaving a distance of 75cm (30in) between plants in each direction. Feed with potash fertiliser once fruiting commences. Water and pick fruits regularly.
