Here's a mild-flavored cucumber that's "burpless" and more digestible than others. Fruits are straight and slender, up to 10" long, and perfect for slicing. The skin is tender, and the fruit is crisp and delicious. So good it can be eaten fresh from the vine without peeling.
Seed and Planting Information:
- Planting Depth: 1/2 - 1"
- Seed Spacing: 2-3"
- Spacing Between Rows: 30-36"
- Days to Germination: 7-14
- Spacing after Thinning: 6-8"
- Days to Maturity: 60-65
When and Where to Plant:
Select a sunny, well - drained location and sow seed in the late spring when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. For earlier crop start indoors 4-6 weeks before setting out. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed.
Care, Harvesting and Storage:
Keep soil moist. and feed monthly. Tie vines on trellis to save space. Pick at any size up to 6-8" and before fruit color begins to turn yellow. Pick regularly so fruit will continue to form. Store extra seeds in a cool, dry place. Heat and moisture severely reduce germination.
