Snack Cucumber (Cucumis sativus cumini) - Introducing Cumini Snack Cucumber! Perfect for growing on your patio, deck, balcony or indoor growing on a sunny windowsill or counter. Plants benefit from being trellised to keep upright and pinched when plant reaches top of trellis.

• Snack cucumber for pot and trellis crop
• Very compact, short internode and small dark thick leaf
• Early setting, first fruit ready 6 weeks after sowing
• 3 - 5 fruits per node
• Fruit 3 - 4 inches. Dark shiny green with good ribbing

Planting Instructions: Cucumbers grow best with long, hot, humid days with maximum sunshine and warm nights. Plants are extremely susceptible to frost. Sow seeds outside only after danger of frost when soil has warmed. Make a second sowing 4 to 5 weeks later for a late summer or early fall harvest. For an earlier harvest and to reduce the threat of insect damage to seedlings, start a few plants indoors in individual pots (or trays with separate compartments) about a month before your last spring frost date.

Sowing: To seed in rows, plant seeds 1 inch deep and about 6 inches apart. To plant in hills, plant four or five seeds in 1-foot-diameter circles set 5 to 6 feet apart.
