Cucumber 'Milano slicer'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Milano slicer is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. A soil ph of between 5.5 and 6.8 is ideal for Milano slicer as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Aim to sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Milano slicer about 14 days after your last frost date.

As Milano slicer is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late spring.
