Discover SEMENCES DE LEGUMES - EARLY RUSSIAN CUCUMBER vegetable seeds, a cucumber variety designed for early harvest and reliable productivity in all gardens, from urban balconies to traditional vegetable patches.

What makes Early Russian unique

• Early and productive — one of the first cucurbits to bear fruit, for quick enjoyment of fresh and crunchy snacks.
• Long and crisp fruits — smooth skin, dark green color, fresh and firm flesh that retains its texture after harvest.
• Versatile in the kitchen — perfect in salads, sandwiches, for dips or homemade preserves and pickles.
• Cultivation suitable for all spaces — ideal in the ground, in planters or on a balcony with support (trellis or stake).
• Easy-to-grow seeds — offers consistent yields with simple care and common climatic conditions.

Simple cultivation and maintenance for optimal harvests

• Sowing or transplanting: sow directly in the ground after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting, then transplant when the plant has 2–3 true leaves.
• Ideal conditions: full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Warm soil (around 18–25 °C) promotes rapid germination.
• Spacing and support: leave approximately 30–40 cm between plants and 1 m between rows; use a trellis or stake to optimize air circulation and facilitate harvesting.
• Watering and mulching: regular watering to keep the soil moist without stagnant water; mulching will help retain moisture and limit weeds.
• Harvest: pick as soon as the fruits are firm in size and texture; harvest frequently to encourage new fruits and prevent over-ripening.

Practical uses and storage tips

• Use: fresh in summer salads, sliced in sandwiches, or made into pickled cucumbers and homemade preserves.
• Storage: fresh in the refrigerator for several days; to extend the tasting period, you can prepare them as preserves or pickles.

Ideal for…

• Gardeners who want an early and regular harvest from the first months of summer.
