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. ... additional info

The tasty, sweet, milky heirloom corn is delightful to eat, and has one unusual trait, the kernels are not arranged in rows. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear.
