Cucumber - Slicing - Fanfare

$1.89

The Cucumber Fanfare, 'Cucumis satiovus (Hybrid)', is an All America Winner. The Fanfare is a semi-dwarf plant that is resistant to many diseases, and is a great slicer. It is almost the perfect cucumber. The compact vines produce over a long period of time rather than all at once like some varieties. They produce quickly and taste great. Fanfares produce 8 to 9 inch dark green, smooth cucumbers. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. Do not plant late as hot temps may preclude good flowering. Cucumbers prefer light, rich, well drained fertile soil with lots of organic matter. Cucumbers have a shallow root system and therefore require regular moisture. Do not let cucumbers get too big because the vines stop producing if over mature cucumbers stay on the vine. ... find out more
