The cucumber "Hugo" is a top-of-the-range variety that has everything to please both amateur and professional gardeners. Originating from northern Germany, this parthenocarpic variety has the unique ability to produce fruit without the need for pollination, making it an ideal choice for greenhouse cultivation. Fruits are remarkably long, reaching up to 40 cm, and feature a smooth green to dark green skin. What's more, they contain few seeds, making them even more attractive for consumption. The taste is excellent, with a subtle hint of hazelnut. Harvesting takes place from June to September.
Sow beginning in mid-April with 2 seeds each in an 8-cell starter tray for transplants or from mid-May direct seeded in the field. Plant with a spacing of 50 ✕ 50 cm in nutrient-rich soil. Compost and mulch cover are recommended. Intercrop with lettuce, turnip, kohlrabi or radish to maximize garden space.
