Description

The cucumber ‘Picolino F1’ is a modern mini cucumber with a fantastic flavor.

It produces an early and abundant harvest of small, uniform fruits with thin dark green skin and crisp, juicy flesh.

Picolino F1 is self-pollinating, making it perfect for greenhouses or container growing.

The variety is resistant to several common cucumber diseases and continues to produce generously throughout the season, often well into late summer.

The taste is sweet and fresh, completely free from bitterness, and the fruits stay firm even after harvesting.Recipe tip for Picolino:Cut the cucumber into thick slices and scoop out a small hollow in the center with a teaspoon.

Fill the hollow with a mixture of cream cheese, chopped dill, a little lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

Top with a piece of smoked salmon or a few shrimp and a small sprig of dill.

These fresh cucumber bites are perfect as an appetizer or for a summer buffet.

Care and cultivation advice

Propagate indoors in potting soil or vegetable soil, then make sure to cover with transparent cover provided with air holes or use a mini greenhouse for best results. One seed in each small seed pot is easiest, but it is also possible to sow several seeds in a larger pot and then move them when they have grown up a little to one plant per pot.

Make sure to water the soil properly before planting. Place the seedlings at around 25 degrees before germination and around 16-20 degrees after germination. After germination, the plants also want to be as bright as possible, so preferably in a sunny window or under plant lighting.

The plants benefit from being retrained once during indoor cultivation. This means that when the roots emerge from the bottom of the pot, it is time to move it to a slightly larger pot. When the roots then emerge on the underside of the pot again, it is then time to plant it in the final pot. Choose a pot with care that the cucumber plant has good conditions to grow in for best results.

The plants can be planted out after hardening off and when the risk of frost is over and the night temperature is not below +8 degrees. The variety is perfect for growing in a larger pot or in a pallet collar and does not need to be pollinated.
