(Cucumis sativus)
An excellent slicing cucumber – vigorous, productive vines produce long, 9” fruits with no bitterness. Brilliant in salads.
Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow 3/4” deep. Transplant in early June. Dig holes 12” deep, 16” wide and bury compost or manure, cover them and plant transplants, spacing them about 2’ apart. Keep well watered, and topdress with manure. Give them a strong trellis of net. Pick daily.
