DRAGON SUHYO CROSS

DRAGON SUHYO CROSS

Product Description:

60 days. Delicious and tender, these slicing cucumbers are a joy to grow and eat. The 13 inch long, slender fruit have dark green skin that's ribbed and slightly spiny but remarkably delicate. Ripening earlier than others in their class, these cukes boast a sweet, slightly floral flavor and produce continuously and abundantly throughout the season. For space saving and straight fruits, allow the plants to climb up a support structure. GY. IR: PM.

Compact, productive plants with really tender weird-lookin' cukes

These cukes look crazy, and also kind of spiky, but they're very tender (including the weird skin!) and very sweet, with a nice dense crisp flesh. None of that weird bitter taste cukes often get. As a bonus, they are very well-behaved and compact. I have them growing in medium-large pots, like 5 gallons or so, 3-5 plants per pot (that was rude of me), and the they're putting up with it like champs.

My favorite Cucumbers

Great fresh peeled and sliced on a salad or marinated in Italian dressing with some cherry tomatoes. Great for summer eating. This is our second year growing these and will be in our garden for a long time to come. Great sweet flavor with small seeds.

Cucumis sativus A favorite in cuisine worldwide, cucumbers possess health benefits too numerous to mention. Incorporate cucumbers in your diet to aid with weight loss, as they are exceptionally low in calories (only about 8 calories in 1/2 cup), aid digestion, and rid toxins from the body. Among the more unusual qualities of the humble cuke is its ability to ease skin irritations. Use a piece of cucumber skin to soothe burns.

Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding.

Culture
• Cucumbers perform best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH 5.5-7.0
• Consistent, even watering is critical for best plant growth and fruit development
• Raised beds, plastic mulch, and trellising can improve yields, keep fruit straight and scab free
• Incorporate a shovelful of compost and 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer per hill

Direct Sowing
• For best germination, keep soil evenly moist but not too wet
• Cover hill with Kozy-Coats, Victorian Bell Cloches, or a row cover to speed up germination
• Thin to the strongest 1-2 plants when first true leaves emerge
