Cucumber - Slicing - Armenian

$1.79

The Cucumber Armenian Burpless, 'Cucumis satiovus', is a slicing cucumber that is slightly sweet, crisp, and never bitter. The Armenian Burpless is very long and is best harvested short at 18 inches. Want to try something new in your garden? This is the variety. It has excellent flavor and absolutely gorgeous light green, thin skin. It is also more heat resistant than most cucumbers and has a long production period, so you can harvest right into late fall. The Armenian Burpless cucumber is also called the Yard Long cucumber or Snake cucumber.

Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. Do not plant late as hot temps may preclude good flowering. Cucumbers prefer light, rich, well drained fertile soil with lots of organic matter. Cucumbers have a shallow root system and therefore require regular moisture. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine
