It is incredibly robust and delivers exactly the crisp experience you hope for from a classic garden cucumber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/b\u003e One plant per 7cm pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping from: 05\/04-05\/11\/26\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e The \"Hokus\" cucumber is a true piece of traditional garden culture! It is a time-tested, open-pollinated pickling and outdoor cucumber. Unlike many sensitive greenhouse varieties, this established variety is inherently adapted to the Central European, often somewhat inconsistent climate. You're not bringing a delicate diva into your garden, but a proven classic that was specifically developed to deliver absolutely reliable and abundant yields in our latitudes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eNot a diva, but a workhorse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Hokus is one of the most proven open-pollinated outdoor cucumbers for our latitudes. It was specially selected for robust outdoor cultivation and withstands cooler nights and rainy days far better than many modern high-bred varieties. You're not bringing a plant into your garden that wilts with every change in weather, but a true piece of uncomplicated garden culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eCrisp bite and the perfect harvest size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eVisually, the Hokus delivers the classic outdoor cucumber ideal: deep green, with a slightly warty skin. \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"106\"\u003eIts ideal harvest size is about 6 to 9 centimeters\u003c\/b\u003e if you want to pickle them as crisp gherkins or pickles.

The most important thing, however, is their reliability in taste. Don't expect a watery supermarket compromise, but a crisp, refreshing aroma with firm flesh that retains its great bite even after processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eOn the ground or climbing high\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eAs a classic vining outdoor cucumber, the Hokus spreads quickly on the ground, but can also be trained upwards on a trellis. This not only saves an enormous amount of space in the bed, but also protects the leaves and fruits from soil moisture. Give it humus-rich soil and water regularly. This ensures that it directs all its energy into the tireless production of new flowers and fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe long-distance runner in the vegetable patch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eDo you want to harvest all summer long? Perfect. The Hokus is a true yield marvel. Often you can pick the first small cucumbers as early as July. And here the golden rule applies: the more you harvest, the more it produces! It continuously supplies new cucumbers until early autumn. Whether in a sunny outdoor bed or in a large pot (from 20 liters) with sturdy climbing support on the balcony – it reliably delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eInto the kitchen – What you can make from your harvest:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe pickling classic:\u003c\/b\u003e At a size of 6 to 9 cm, classically sweet and sour, pickled as gherkins with dill, mustard seeds, and onions.
