This landrace cucumber task is really exercising well. We’re gathering lots of cucumbers, plus we’re conserving seeds that will adjust to our very own yard as well as growing design. Rather than growing cucumbers on trellises, we expand cucumbers on the ground, as a vast ground cover.

Today David The Good shares just how to save cucumber seeds while reproducing your very own treasure variety.

To breed a landrace pickling cucumber range, we blended numerous sorts of cucumber together in our yards as well as allow them interbreed, and after that we blended in more ranges the following year. We conserve from each plant that produces. Later on, we’ll pick for taste as well as other features.

We chose over 163lbs of cucumbers so far, and also currently it’s time to conserve seeds from cucumbers that have grown. If you allow your cucumbers ripen on the vine to intense yellow and/or orange, then you can conserve cucumber seeds that are completely ripe. Saving cucumber seeds is actually very easy – as well as if this cucumber landrace functions out well, they’ll end up being less complicated to grow each year as they adjust to our yards and also design of horticulture.
