    • Low maintenance indoor plants require minimal care and are available in varieties such as snake plants, cacti and succulents.

  • How long does it take to grow cucumbers? 

    • Cucumbers will be ready to pick between 50 and 70 days from sowing. Cucumber plants can take a couple of months to grow, but once they are established the fruits themselves grow very quickly.

      Keep an eye out for the beautiful yellow flowers. Female flowers will produce a small cucumber just below them. It is important to check your cucumbers regularly as they grow super quick and can turn bitter in flavour if over-grown.

      Traditional slicing cucumbers should be harvested when they are 18-22cm long and dark green in colour. If you are looking to pickle baby cucumbers into gherkins, pick them when they reach 5-10cm.
