Frequently asked questions(5)
Sow seeds for seedlings in April (in temperate regions) and transplant to open ground in late May or early June after the frost risk passes and soil warms to 12-15°C.
During vegetative growth — 2-3 times per week; during flowering and fruiting — daily or every other day depending on weather. Soil should be moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base, avoiding wetting leaves.
Bitterness occurs due to lack of moisture, temperature fluctuations, or curcumin accumulation. Ensure regular watering, avoid soil drying, and prevent temperature swings. Harvest young fruit (10-15 cm) — they have less bitterness.
Initially — nitrogen (for foliage growth); during flowering and fruiting — phosphorus-potassium. Fertilize every 10-14 days. Organic matter is effective: cow manure or bird guano solution (1:10).
Pick cornichon-size (8-12 cm) or small long cucumbers (up to 15 cm) while still firm and crisp. Harvest every 2-3 days to encourage new fruiting. Lebelle is ideal for pickling due to its thick skin.
