Cucumber 'Moneta'

Latin: Lucumis sativus 
Swedish: Frilandsslanggurka 'Moneta'
English: Cucumber 'Moneta'
Producer: Bröderna Nelson, purchased at ICA Maxi 7/6-2011

Planted 8/6-2011 (See scheme for raised bed)
The raised bed contained for the most soil from the EcoCenter (low quality soil), but it was topped with cow manure from Plantagen (2 bags).
Planted 2 plants (actually 4, but I am supposed to remove the least nice of two plants).
Note: 28/7-2011 Not a single plant came up so no pictures at all! Maybe  because I did not put any fabric on it? Or what could have been wrong? Will try next year again but I will precultivate. Back to this subject in one year time... :O)
Note: 19/8-2011 Nothing nothing nothing. Let us precultivate next year really!

Producer's description
Easy to cultivate. Healthy and robust species with long, somewhat lumpy green skin. Good to be eaten as is.
Producer's instructions
Sow directly on sunny and protected spot in the garden when the soil reaches 15degrees Celsius. If earlier sowing desired, pre-cultivate indoors 3-4 weeks prior to planting outdoors, when night time frost does not occur any longer.
Requires large amounts of water and heat. Do not let the cucumbers become too large. Harvest often
Depth: 2cm
Distance between plants: 15cm
Distance between rows: 125cm
Full sun
