Product description

Cucumber 'La Diva' is a high-quality, early-maturing variety known for its smooth, thin-skinned fruits that are ideal for fresh eating. This variety produces compact, vigorous plants that are well-suited for growing in greenhouses, polytunnels, or sunny, sheltered outdoor spots. The cucumbers are typically around 15cm long, with a crisp texture and refreshing flavour, making them perfect for salads, sandwiches, and snacking straight from the garden.

To grow 'La Diva', sow seeds indoors from March to May, ensuring they have a warm, protected environment to germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 30cm apart. Choose a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil for the best results. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain consistent growth and prevent the cucumbers from becoming bitter.

Harvest 'La Diva' cucumbers from July to September, picking them when they reach around 15cm in length. This size ensures the cucumbers are at their peak in terms of flavour and texture. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to continue producing more fruits. For the best results, water regularly and feed with a balanced fertiliser to support ongoing growth. Cucumber 'La Diva' is a reliable, productive variety that is perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.
