cucumber

Angelo’s Farm Market veggies are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for the popular ‘Burpless’, classic tasting ‘Raider’ and ‘Straight Eight’, and also the compact ‘Patio Pickle’. All the varieties produce fresh tasting cucumbers with dark green skin, some with fewer seeds. Plant 10-12 inches apart. Stake, cage or trellis for the best yields. Prefers consistent soil moisture.

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
