Why You’ll Love African Horned Cucumbers

  • Taste Sensation: The mild, zesty flavour works in smoothies, fruit salads, or as a refreshing snack straight from the garden.
  • Eco-Friendly Choice: Tough and drought-tolerant, they’re perfect for sustainable gardening.

How to Grow Your African Horned Cucumbers

  • When to Plant: Best planted in spring and summer when the soil is warm.
  • Where They Thrive: They love full sun and well-drained soil—choose a spot that’s nice and sunny.
  • Spacing: Give them some room to sprawl, with about 50 cm between seeds.
