Attractive heirloom open-pollinated cucumbers that are small and round with lemon-coloured skin. The lime-green flesh is very mild, sweet and never bitter. Very nice for slicing and easy to digest. Vigorous long vine that does well on a trellis or a fence. Plants may become quite sprawly, but the fruit production is incredibly vigorous. To lengthen the fruiting period, keep the plants carefully picked so that no fruits are allowed to mature on the vine.
Green Thumb
Cultural practices : seed them indoors at least three weeks before transplanting them to the garden. Use "Jiffy" pots to reduce the shock of transplanting. When sown directly in the garden, the soil temperature should be around 16 ° C and when there is no longer any danger of frost on the soil.
Soil : they require light, well-drained soil.
Spacing : put five to six seeds in mounds in full sun and space them 1.5m to 3m in all directions.
Growing tips : before transplanting, water the soil well. It is advisable to use a dark mulch to protect the seeds and increase the soil temperature. The cucumber and the pickle are climbing plants which are of course cultivated in a trellis if you have limited space or on the ground if you want straighter fruit.
Harvest : table cucumbers are harvested from 15 - 20 cm in length and pickles at 2.5 - 7 cm.
