Cucumbers

We have some delicious (and often adorable) cucumbers! I’ve been trellising mine against the house and they really grow great (and take up lots less space too!) I’ve even tried a few in containers which worked reasonably well. Go ahead and experiment!

Plant Name	Habit/Size	Container	Price
Cucumber ‘Armenian’ (AKA Snake Melon)	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(50-70 days) This striking Eastern European heirloom produces distinctive light green fruits best eaten when 12-18” long; tender and yummy! Botanically it is a melon but it tastes tender and crisp and like a cucumber! When trellised it will grow straight, otherwise it will curl.
Cucumber ‘Boothby’s Blonde’	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(55-60 days) This Heirloom from Maine has 4-8” long oval creamy yellow and warty cukes that are great as fresh eaters or as bread and butter pickles! No need to peel as they are tender and crisp; very heavy producer. Best harvested at 4-5”.
Cucumber ‘Diva’	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(58 days) This hybrid was the 2002 AAS winner, so ya know it’s awesome! A quintessential seedless and burpless cuke, they are best harvested at 4-8”. Ideal fresh eater/slicer!
Cucumber ‘Early Spring Burpless’	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(58 days) A delicious hybrid with 10-12” burpless, bitter-free fruits; no need to even peel! Early and a heavy yielder.
Cucumber ‘Little Tyke’	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(34 days) Can you say awwww…! This little imp is perfect for baby pickles, with 1” x 3 ½” crisp fruits with high production. Vigorous and disease resistant!
Cucumber ‘Mexican Sour Gherkin’ (AKA Mouse Melon)	Vining	4” pot	$2.95
(65 days) This almost lost heirloom has 1-2” round fruits that look like itty bitty watermelons and fall off the vine when ripe. Their taste is unique and surprising; first taste sweet and cucumbery, then have a surprising sourness that taste like they’ve already been pickled! (A plus for us lazy gardeners/cooks!) Perfect for trellises, and ya know I’ll be planting some!
Cucumber ‘Parade’	Vining	4” pots	$2.95
(50-60 days) A Russian Heirloom with 5” x 2” fruits that are perfect for pickling as lots of pickles come in at one time. Great resistance to weather extremes too!
