Cucumber - White Wonder Cuke (Cucumis sativus) NonGMO Organic White Heirloom Cucumbers Vegetable

Annual

Excellent old time heirloom variety ca.1890.

This is an attractive white cucumber that originated in upstate New York. Black spined fruits are oval, 6 to 9 in long, and the skin is ivory white when fruit are young, becoming more of a creamy colour at full maturity. Crisp flesh is mild tasting & delicious. Very productive, and vigorous variety.

Plant in fertile soil, amended with compost or well rotted manure and keep well watered. Trellising the vines allows for good air circulation, takes up less space, and provides shade for heat sensitive crops like lettuce. Plants benefit from growing on black plastic and by using row covers for weed, insect control, and more rapid growth.
