This resemblance explains its practical grouping among these vegetables, but Achocha is not a cultivar of common cucumber. The pale green fruits are elongated and measure 6 to 10 cm (2.4 to 4 in.), according to the seed supplier. Their use changes as they develop: young, they are eaten raw or pickled; further along, they can be hollowed out and stuffed. Its climbing growth also gives this annual a particular place in planning a vegetable garden with supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrepare an indoor sowing in mid-May, burying the seeds 1 cm (0.4 in.) deep. Keep the substrate moist and monitor the young plants' development before gradually accustoming them to outdoor conditions. Transplant when there is no longer any risk of frost. Allow 30 cm (12 in.) between plants and install a support at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) tall, as the grower recommends. Position this structure so you can reach the fruits during the season. Guiding the first stems is easier when the support is already in place at planting time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a fresh harvest, monitor the fruits and pick them young. You can also let some develop to open, hollow out and bake with a stuffing. This difference in use allows varied preparations without treating every fruit the same way. The seed supplier also mentions the leaves as edible; always identify the plant before picking any part. In the garden, reserve a path along the support to observe the fruits and choose their harvest stage. Avoid letting stems overgrow this access: training should make care easier as well as display the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le potager ornemental de Catherine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53243285930144,"sku":"POC-SEMENCES","price":4.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/3878\/5440\/files\/Concombre_Achocha.jpg?v=1770668260"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pepiniere.ca\/en\/collections\/achocha-seeds.oembed","provider":"Pépinière.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
