Planting Details
| Seed Depth | ½" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 2 seeds every 12" |
| Thinning | When 3 leaves, thin to 1 plant every 12" |
| Germination | 5–10 days |
| Start Indoors | 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date. Cucumbers are sensitive to root disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 70°–90°F. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Pick, and pick some more! Overly mature cucumbers on the vine will slow production of new cucumbers. Cut the stem rather than pulling at the fruit, as stems are fragile. To increase the quality and storage time, once picked, immediately immerse in cold water to disperse "field heat". |

- Erica L.WY, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/7/26Vigorous Plants
I trained these up a trellis but the vines fork off from the main vine like crazy so you have to be vigilant with training vines. It is by far my best producing “cucumber” this season. One of my other varieties fell to mosaic virus and this one laughed in its face. Powdery mildew? The Armenian also laughed. Another plus is they don’t have sharp pointy spines all over like other varieties.

- Laura Y.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/8/26Best cukes ever
These are by far my favorite “cucumbers”. They have a really great shelf life as well so you can harvest and keep them on the counter for DAYS which for me is a great benefit as I often get distracted or have too much going on to always be able to process things same day.

- Lise B.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars7/7/26Not a fan
I love cucumbers and thought this might be a good mid-late summer option. These took an extremely long time to set fruit. Loads of male flowers. Finally set one, and it grew quickly. To be honest though, these don’t taste anything like a cucumber, and the texture was more squash-like. Harvested at about 10-12” in length. Guess it makes a good curiosity plant. Might use it more as another squash option.
