How to Grow
Begin growing Cucumber 'La Diva' seeds indoors or in a greenhouse from March to June to ensure a warm, moist environment ideal for establishment. This variety thrives with plenty of sunlight and some attentive care to develop its sweet, crisp fruits.
Sowing

Growing
Once seedlings appear, pot them on and provide sturdy support to accommodate their climbing habit, ideally in a 50 cm pot or similar space in the kitchen garden or greenhouse. Spacing and support are important as plants grow from July to October to maximise air circulation and fruit quality.
