Reviews

The cucumber variety 'Vorgebirgstrauben' is a very robust old variety. The small dark green cucumbers hang on the plant like grapes (German: Trauben) what gave the variety its name. They become 7-9cm long and can be constantly harvested from mid-June. Due to their size, the fruits are perfectly suitable for pickling in vinegar. Depending on if you harvest them early while they're still small and crispy or if you let them mature, they are suitable as baby pickles or even as mustard pickles. When pickling, you can wonderfully vary between spices, herbs, and salt to receive great, different variants like gherkins, dill pickles, or plain pickled cucumbers. Of course, you can also cure cucumbers by fermentation.

This cucumber variety is dioecious and, thereby, mixed-flowering. Therefore, it's important to pay attention to the fact that bee activity is possible. The 'Vorgebirgstrauben' can be cultivated climbing as well as creeping.

Although cucumbers can be sown directly outdoors, pre-culture indoors is recommended. The hardened plantlets are then planted outdoors after the last frosts.

A regular harvest promotes the yield.

kaum Ertrag auf Lehmboden
Leider wächst die Vorgebirgstraube auf lehmigen Boden nicht so gerne.
Deshalb schaute kaum eine Ernte raus.
