Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
The Apollo medium-long cucumber is an intermediate-size variety, valued in home gardens for its good productivity and practically sized fruits, easier to handle than long greenhouse cucumbers.
The Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber Plant
Cucumis sativus Apollo belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It is an annual climbing plant, with hairy stems and branched tendrils. The fruits are medium in length, with slightly ridged dark green skin and crisp flesh, suitable both for fresh consumption and for pickling when picked young.
How to Sow Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
In home gardens, direct sowing takes place from May to June, burying seeds about 2 centimetres deep, or in a protected seedbed already from March-April to bring transplanting forward.
How to Grow Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. When grown outdoors, simple staking with canes or netting is useful, making harvesting easier and keeping fruits clean and straight. Watering should be done regularly, avoiding wetting the leaves.
Tips for Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
The intermediate fruit size makes it a versatile variety for the home garden: regular harvesting is recommended to encourage new flowering, and mulching the soil helps control weeds and maintain constant moisture during summer.
Diseases and Pests of Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
When grown outdoors it can be subject to powdery mildew and downy mildew in more humid seasons, as well as aphid infestations. Good spacing between plants favours air circulation and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.
Uses and Curiosities of Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
Thanks to its intermediate size, Apollo cucumber is suited both for fresh consumption sliced in salads and for pickling when harvested young and small.
Properties of Apollo Medium-Long Cucumber
Rich in water and low in calories, Apollo cucumber is a refreshing, detoxifying vegetable, a source of potassium and vitamin K, particularly suited to summer diets.
