Love these

Grew these last year and they made amazing cucumbers. The skins aren't bitter at all no need to peel.

Cute and tasty

Cute little sweet fruits. Produced tons of females, but I didn't have good pollination this year. I will have to hand pollinate in the future. This plant did vine up for me, and it did produce tendrils. It didn't sprawl out a ton of side vines the same way a typical cucumber does, but it still needs space to grow up. I will try this again next year, and just note to hand pollinate every other morning.

Love these

I grew these years ago and had some old seeds (2016) that I planted. One came up and is producing well. They taste so good! Will continue to plant these year after year. I love that the skins are not bitter so the whole thing can be eaten, sometimes while I'm still in the garden!

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

• Start indoors in 4 inch pots, 3-4 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Avoid letting starts get root bound; transplant carefully as to not disturb roots
