Richmond green is a rounded, or apple, cucumber that was especially selected for Australian conditions. Apart from doing really well in our country, these mini-cucumbers are known for the fresh, sweet taste with overtones of lemony tang. Enjoy them fresh out of your home garden you are unlikely to find them in mainstream stores! Commercial crop-growing requirements include easy packing and a long shelf life. As a home gardener, you need neither of these and can enjoy truly natural delicacies.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Start your seeds in spring. Direct sowing is the best solution, but if you want to get an early start, you can sow them in pots and plant them out after the last frost. Plant your seeds no more than 10mm deep, and keep the soil moist. Water deeply, and then let just the surface of the soil dry between waterings to keep them moist but not soggy.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest your cucumbers in the mornings when they are at their firmest and juiciest. Cut them from the vine to prevent breakage. Don't let the seeds mature, even if you have more cucumbers than you need, as that tells the plant it can stop producing.
