Tall/Long Vines

Description:
This excellent home garden variety produces an abundance of 8 to 12 inch pale green burpless fruit with excellent flavor. Skin is thin, with crisp, bitter-free flesh. For straighter fruit and easier harvest, try growing on a fence or trellis (make this decision before you plant the seed).

SOWING:
Sow seed outside in late spring after the ground is thoroughly warmed. Plant 3 to 4 seeds in a group (called a ‘hill’).
If planning to trellis the vines, space each hill 20 inches apart.
If allowing vines to trail along the ground, allow 4 to 6 feet between each hill.

THINNING:
When plants are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin each hill to a single plant.

GERMINATION:
Cucumbers are very cold sensitive and may not sprout if the soil is too cool.
