Matures in 60 Days
A high-quality slicing cucumber grown on bush-type plants—ideal for small gardens or containers. Produces abundant 8” fruits with excellent flavor. Resistant to cucumber mosaic virus, scab, and moderately resistant to downy and powdery mildew.
Sowing:
Plant seed outdoors in late spring when the ground is warm and frost danger has passed.
Make a group of 3–5 seeds placed in a ring about 4 inches across.
Cover with ½ inch of fine soil, well pressed down.
Each ring of seeds is called a hill; space hills 3–4 feet apart.
May also be planted in containers or hanging baskets.
Thinning:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to leave the 3 or 4 strongest plants per hill or container.
Germination:
Germinates in 8 to 12 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
Remarks:
For best flavor, pick fruits when 6 to 8 inches long.
High fertility and plenty of moisture will stimulate growth and increase yield.
