Ferry-Morse 1272 Cucumber Seeds, Armenian (Yard Long) (1.75 Gram Packet)
Because of its distinctively different flavor and texture, this is a highly desirable cucumber for slicing and salads. Long, curved, gray-green fruits are often 2 to 3 feet long with a diameter of 3 inches. This packet will plant approximately 10 hills. Plant cucumber seed only after all danger of frost is past and ground is warm. They need lots of sunshine and water. Keep weeds to a minimum with straw or leaf mulch. In full sun, sow 5 seeds over a hill 12 inches tall and 2 feet across with well-drained soil. For smaller gardens, plant alongside fence or trellis. When plants are 2 inches tall, thin to 3 plants per hill. Plant at 3-week intervals up to midsummer for fresh cucumbers all season. Keep fruits picked.
