Cucumber 'de Bourbonne'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that de Bourbonne is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 6.8 as de Bourbonne likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between Cucumber plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as de Bourbonne is a tender plant.

Ready for pickling at two inches (5cm) long.

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