(Cucumis sativus) Popular Russian variety that is resistant to weather extremes. Heavy set of uniform fruits that mature at relatively the same time, making it a good processing variety. Fruits are 5" long by 2" in diameter. Sweet and crunchy—one of our favorites at Heritage Farm. 50-60 days.

Green Thumb Tip
Sow seeds outdoors in 12" diameter hills after the last frost when soil is warm. Space hills 6' apart in all directions. Can also be started indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost for an earlier harvest. Cucumbers benefit from consistent moisture. Provide support for vines to save space.
