Early Russian Cucumber
Cucumis sativus
Price: $4.19
SKU: 3160019150-70 days to maturity. Early Russian was bred for prairie growing conditions and is perfect for colder climates. The vines are very prolific, producing light green cucumbers with black spines. They are best picked when they are around 5 inches long, and they are great for pickling and relishes. Fruits are sweet all season, never turning bitter. Each packet contains one gram, which is approximately 25 to 30 seeds.
Planting Instructions: Cucumbers grow best with long, hot, humid days with maximum sunshine and warm nights. Plants are extremely susceptible to frost. Sow seeds outside only after danger of frost when soil has warmed. Make a second sowing 4 to 5 weeks later for a late summer or early fall harvest. For an earlier harvest and to reduce the threat of insect damage to seedlings, start a few plants indoors in individual pots (or trays with separate compartments) about a month before your last spring frost date.
Sowing: To seed in rows, plant seeds 1 inch deep and about 6 inches apart. To plant in hills, plant four or five seeds in 1-foot-diameter circles set 5 to 6 feet apart.
