Cucumbers

The largest cuke was grown in Australia in 1988

and weighed in at a mind pickling 59 pounds!

Your own fresh cucumbers will taste so much better than store-bought ones and each variety has a unique taste. The inner temperature of a cucumber can be 20 degrees cooler than the outside air. The cucumber originated in Asia Minor and spread globally. The Romans grew them and the Bible refers to them. In the late 1500's The Plains Indians and Iroquois, obtained cucumbers from the Spanish by barter learning how to grow these alongside the corn, beans and pumpkins they already grew.

 
How To Grow Cucumbers
Cool Breeze

Cool Breeze

So early it caught us by surprise! Small 10-15cm (4-6), uniform, dark green cucumbers appear well before any others because they do not need pollination; and in our wet springs, bees are not out in the rain! There are no male flowers; the plants keep producing all summer on short vines. They have no ridges and and very fine spines that rub off easily. Use for pickles or salads and sandwiches. Tolerant to powdery mildew, scab, and Mosaic virus. Matures in 45 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 2.95 CA  

Green Dragon

Green Dragon

Don't be alarmed by the name of this cucumber - it is gentle and sweet. This dragon is thin-skinned, never bitter, burpless, and smaller than many other slicers. The shiny green skin is smooth and the flavor is mild. This one is a winner for salads and sandwiches all summer! Matures in 60 days. (hybrid seeds)
From : $ 2.90 CA  

Homemade Pickles

Homemade Pickles

These pickle-shaped cucumbers are medium green with small white spines and a crisp interior. You can pick them at 4cm (1") for baby sweet pickles or wait for bigger ones.

Lemon Cucumber

Lemon Cucumber

These attractive HERITAGE cucumbers are small and round with lemon-coloured skin. The lime-green flesh is very mild, sweet, and never bitter. Pick them before they yellow.

From : $ 2.69 CA  

Marketmore

Marketmore

Marketmore is a smooth, refined, dark-green slicer with a crisp crunch and sweet flavour (makes great pickles). This is an early maturing cucumber that 20-23cm (8-9") long with slightly shorter vines than other varieties so you can space them more densely and get a higher yield in a small garden. Very productive. Matures in 56 days. (open pollinated seeds)

Salad Bush

Salad Bush

Salad Bush sports suprisingly short vine ideal for container growing or a small garden.

Sultan

A real taste treat. The small delicate cucumbers grow well on long vines. Similar to Amira as a beit alpha variety, Sulta has thin skin, a seedless interior, and gourmet flavour.
