Description

Short, light green. 4 x 1 3/4 inch white spined, compact vines and heavy yielder.

Plant directly in the ground after danger of frost is past and soil is warm - 65 F(18 C). If you wish to start plants indoors use peat pots and weather the plants before setting them in the ground. Roots should be disturbed as little as possible while transplanting. Soil should be well worked and kept moist, pH of 6.0-6.8. Location should be sheltered from wind. Cucumbers are shallow rooting so it is advisable to mulch to keep the soil moist. Extended periods of cold weather followed by bright sun will cause sudden wilt.
