Cucumber "Straight 8" Heirloom Seeds
HISTORY: An All-America Selections Gold Medal winner in 1935, Straight 8 is still quite popular today as it is early and highly productive.
HABIT: Vigorous vines produce an abundance of 8 x 2 inch long, uniform, dark green, smooth, slightly striped fruit with white spines. Resistant to mosaic.
CULTURE: Plant seed outdoors in late spring when ground is warm and danger of frost is past. Traditionally planted in "hills" (a small circular group of 4-6 seeds) can also be planted in rows. Hills or rows should be 4 to 6 feet apart. Cover seed with 1/2" of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep moist until seeds sprout. When plants are 2-3" tall, thin hills to 3 or 4 strongest plants. Can be planted until mid-July. Matures in 63 days.
