White-spined fruits have classic pickle look, deep green with paler stripes.
Unbelievably compact vines only get 2' long. Cucumbers are up to 4.5" long and 1.5" across at maturity, but use them at any size. Very productive and tolerant to powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. Harvest really early in the morning before the sun hits cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.
Plant With: Daisies such as Sunflowers, Cosmos, Zinnias, Coneflower, and Mints such as Bee Balm, Sage, Oregano, and Lavender. More bees mean more chances flowers will be pollinated and develop into fruits.
